Default Regulate an A123 ECU Battery?

Just an idea, what would it take to build a regulating circuit that would plug in between a 9.9 A123 pack and an ECUthat would bring the voltage down to like 8v or so?

Jet Central strongly discourages the use of a 9.9 volt on the ECU. The resulting damage to the ECU could be very expensive for you.

I use a 6.6 (2C) on the big F-15. I needed the nose weight, so a 4600ma was chosen. I get plenty of reliable starts, even with the new ceramic glow plug. Haven't tried thesmaller 2300ma, but willgive it a tryvery soon.Should work fine.

That's what Ineeded to know - so, you can use a 6.6 on the internal ceramic element on a rabbit as well?
