Voltage dropping?

So last night I was getting off of 270 at alum creek from gahanna and I decided to swing by mcdonalds. As soon as I get back onto alum creek I dug my foot into it a little bit and my voltage gauge dropped to 12 from the 13.8 that it normally sits at. Well I drove it home and it was sitting at 12 fine.

 

Driving home from my friends house tonight it dropped to 10 so I instantly got worried. I don't hear the alternator whining so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Also I have nothing attached to the battery that isn't factory.

That V6 doesnt put out enough power to crank the alt over for maximum voltage, so to fix this just remove the shitty V6 and put the LS1 in there. ;)

Damn, by the looks of the picture your speedo cable must be snapped and you HAVE to be in a ditch sideways. Wrapping the speedo at 15XX RPM? Nty. ;)
