No, caps do nothing but cover up a bad charging system. There worthless unless you get into 20+ farad.

I've got a good 3G alt I'll sell you cheap and I'm local. They are fairly easy to install and make a huge difference. I picked this up for a friend of mine and he flaked so I've been sitting on it for a while.

This exact same shit happened to me. The capacitors take up more energy and make ur alternator work even harder. Ithought they were sposed to help but they don't and that's on top of havin an underdrive pulley on ur alt. Ended up gettin a 140 amp alternator and hasn't killed my battery since.

Yeah never install the under drive alt pulley. When you get a 3g alt go ahead and put the smaller foxbody pulley on it. That's what I always do. You'll get more amps at idle.

1F caps are worthless and geared to the guy "who wants some slap dawg ya feel me?" it's an add on really. Best is to get a better alt and most importantly do the "Big 3" upgrade.

http://www.caraudio.com/forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/152355-official-caraudio-com-big-3-thread.html

I ran a 12w7 with a 1000/1 with no cap and big 3. Had no problem.

I wouldnt bother with that low amperage (65 amp), fire catchin, piece of alternator that came stock. Upgrade to the 3G and get some charging at idle.
