Re: Is there any reason to buy a cap?

High output alternators typically have lower output than the stock one at idle. You might have to play with pulley sizes to work it out. If youhave less than like 1200 watts RMS amp power, you shouldn't really even consider doing an alternator upgrade unless you're headlights are doing the disco blinking. Caps can help stabilize the voltage when listening to music, they don't do much when playing bass tones.
