[Shotimes] VAK group buy

[Paul Nimz]

On the Gen 1-2 the A/C is not affected with the group buy VAK.  The Gen 1-2
factory setting will kick the A/C out sooner than the Gen 3 which at factory
settings is truly WOT.  On the Gen 3 VAK the A/C is cut out but sooner than
WOT.

The Gen 1-2 VAK for the group buy is only the alternator.  Again it is a
dynamic device.  With the HP reclaimed dependant on the actual electrical
load which varies.
