but if you are sold on one 1000amp to one 1f cap

wow 1000amps only needs one farad.
wow
i think he is trying to say watts. 1000watts needs a 1 farad cap.

for the price of a cap spend a couple bucks more and just upgrade your charging system.
alt wires and battery.

its the easiest thing like ppl have been saying.

How do you guys figure that out? Do you just add the rms up or somethig??

I heard every farad adds an average of 2 years to your life

In summary, adding a cap will make you live longer, louder and faster.
