I personally would do a cap before I would do a bigger alternator. I have a system in my CRX with a factory alternator and a 1 farad cap from Memphis. I haven't had a problem yet.

OT but, where do you live in Atlanta? Do you live in the city of Atlanta or outskirts (Marietta, Woodstock, etc.) Just curious seeing as I live in Georgia too and I like meeting people that are in to fourth gens like me.
