14hp per 10kW gen (plus a little for losses) plus an intermittent load of say 10HP for the compressor isnt really loading the engine up much. Dont want to be too lightly loaded due to SFC effects and all. It is a neat idea, assuming that the stock cooling system can produce power assuming no windage. Otherwise you might need to series radiators with a boost water pump.
