[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1010365, member: 561023"] Keep in mind that this is just one man's opinion, TeenWolf ~ There have been various studies which claim to have found that capacitor usage actually worsens your average current. Some people claim that after having installed a cap that it made worlds of difference. I have a Stinger 1 farad monitor-top cap that I got from a $1 raffle locally. I installed it so I would know from experience how much difference they made, if any. I noticed neither any improvement to my average voltage having the cap in use nor any voltage drop. I left it installed for a few days 'cause it has a blue LED voltage readout and a neon ring encircling the top of it so it kinda looks cool but eventually took it out as it was just one more thing cluttering already limited trunk space. I had a look around and found the average retail on this particular cap was around $160 or so and it sold on eBay BNIB for around $90 most places that I saw it. I certainly don't see a worthwhile return on that much of an investment so I personally advise those that ask against wasting good $$ on a cap. That same money would be better spent upgrading their Big 3 with money for dinner and a movie left over [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
