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.

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.
