well cap doesnt really do anything. all it will do is help with lights dimming. it wont give you more power, in fact it will draw extra power to recharge itself constantly. what you should get is a hi output alternator if anything.

hmmm do you know of a good site that would have one? a hi output alternator that is and i know that the cap would help with lights dimming thats the point of having it cause it sucks having the lights dim at night when the bass hits i have been pulled over for it cause it looked like my lights were flashing, i only got a warning but still. im planning on getting a yellow top that will help yes ?

Rudy is an unknown quantity at this point
Caps are really questionable - added point of failure, extremely short duration, not likely to make any difference at all.

Contact MegaHurtz. He was involved in developing a direct bolt on replacement alt for our cars.

Yes, contact me .

Our kits are complete and on the market. 180a or 200a, depending on what will work best for you. All brand new kits with custom brackets and everything.

A battery may help, I had an Exide 34XCD in my car long before we installed an alternator, and it did make a big difference, but nothing like it did when we got the alternator in.
