    well guys i finally emailed the man mike and this is what he had to say :)

    Hello Jake

    this is not strange behavior at all actually, it is some innovations that have been made with the voltage regulators. Some of the newer internal regulators in certain alternators I have built act this exactly same way. Basically the VCM is designed to make the alternator compensate when a load is detected on the alternator by pulling voltage up. This feature is basically designed to boost alternator performance and response to any load that hits the alternator (to produce more power to compensate)

    Voltage is just a messaging system for the alternator to make power basically, every regulator will act differently in terms of what I like to refer as "refresh rate"
    some jump higher then their set point by a few tenths to as much as a half volt higher to compensate.
    This my friend is a sign of a very good installation also :)
    Good work on that end by the way!

    alright guys, this is kinda weird and idk why it would act this way, ill be putting up a vid soon once it finishes uploading but it would seem that when i turn on components in my truck... my voltage goes higher??? like when i step on the brake it goes from 14.6 to 14.9 or when i turn on the defroster it goes from 14.6 to 15.0 or 15.1 and then when i step on the brake it will go up to 15.3.... this is the strangest thing i think ive ever seen.. just wondering why this is happening or how this could be happening and is it something i need to be worried about?? and my stinger meter is like .1 off either way so ik its decent number to be looking at

    the only really strage thing is that i set it at 14.8 so the meter on the actualy device shows 14.8 or 14.7 and ive got my stinger volt meter hooked up at the amp, ik they are notorious for not being that accurate but it was steady at 14 before i put the xs vcm in and now when im driving it stays right at about 14.4-14.6 but when i step on the brake it goes up to 14.8??? lol i dont know how that makes sense but im guessing its nothing i should be worrying about cuz im seeing 14.4 at the lowest right?
