I got my tuner to bump up the idle to 750 (from the stock 550?). With this, the voltage on my voltmeter never drops like it did before when idling
However, I was told this isn't really the way the problem should be handled and that you should really get an overdrive pulley for the alternator. For me, I would rather just turn up the idle until I get a cam, in which case the idle will be bumped up even more anyway.
The air and power steering is fine though, the only problem I had was with the undercharging of the battery. I imagine if you had an automatic the car would creep more when you took your foot off the brakes. I have a manual though.
