I then attached the wire directly to the battery I was using to run the engine...Immediately it jumped to 14.25V...(battery was a little weak)
I assume this means that the voltage sensing and control of the alternator by the PCM is working properly?

Sounds like it is working. LS1's use a different kind of voltage sensing.
