    You can get a cap and it will help a bit. But honestly I would just invest in a High-output alt and a yellow top battery.

            Well you can get stock ones rebuilt to High standards and I was told around 150+ depending on how much you want it to output.

                    upgrade the big 3 like it was said!...IMO caps are useless. unless you upgrade the rest.
                    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                          Well when I had my system I had a capacitor and a stock alternator and a interstate battery and I had very little dimming of my headlights. I had a 1 farad rocksford fosgate capacitor. Hope everything works out
