Thanks!

A cap is always a good idea. It isolates the alternator in some sort from the stereo (or whatever behind the cap.).
Wha it means, is that it reduces the peak effect (peak current draw) on the alternator. The alternator feels only a certain percent of the stress.


130 amps, you will be more than fine.. But like I said, when @ Idle, you may experience dimming.

But I hope you're not going to swap out the alternator that you have right now? Wait till it gives out..



Unless you are out to compete or something..
