March 29, 200817 yr Sell the alt and buy a bigger one?OR use it and get a couple of large batteries like the Powermaster D3100.That capacitor is going to end up being yet another waste of money if you buy it.

March 31, 200817 yr You may as well install the 180a one you have now to see if it cuts the mustard. No sense in upgrading if what you already have will do the job for you.If it doesn't do what you want it to, then upgrade to something substantially larger (240a+).
March 31, 200817 yr Author so keep the 180a i have in and add a Powermaster D3100?will this be enough power?
April 1, 200817 yr so keep the 180a i have in and add a Powermaster D3100?will this be enough power?get 2 D3100s..alot @least 2 runs of 1/0..
April 1, 200817 yr so keep the 180a i have in and add a Powermaster D3100?will this be enough power?Who knows. That's why I said install it and see how it performs before you go of and buy something you may not even need.
