Define hard driving? On the track, or just going fast around town? I know with a lot of high RPM driving the alternator can be overspun, but I've only heard of racers having that kind of problem.

if i make 4-5 pulls or a couple laps of a auto-x course it will start acting up. i have underdrive pulleys on the car so i doubt it is over spining. any other ideas?
