I never would recommend using a cap.

However they do work, its just more efficient to get another battery if your alt can handle it.

ya i know, i just had this laying around and my alt woulndt handle a bigger battery, i can hear a small diff and im sure its helping on voltage drops

when i do big 3 i might be able to stay 14+ all the time

If you want to stay above 14 (not easy to do depending on what your running) your going to need a serious alt swap.

okey, i dont know that much bout voltages, just though 13,75 was good on my shit alt without big 3, donnu how much it will get better but i asume it will help too with big 3, the stock cables is like 10-12 G or so

A battery would be more likely to fry an alternator than a cap lol.


Are you stupid? caps try to regulate powering causing the alternator to work harder, power cells add more reserve and don't rob as much from the alternator EVERYONE knows this... *facepalm* Use a a cap if you want serious electrical issues that's all I can say lol… I'd only EVER use a cap on a really good alternator.

Also if you want to stay above 14v (14.4v is more important. 14v is irrelavent.) then you need a alternator and battery bank and plenty of 0/1 runs with Big III unless you're only running 800w or something lol.
