yeah a ho alt. will do it, and of course get a new battery and upgrade big 3, but you still don't need a cap. unless you want one.

cap.s aren't worthless, but i wouldn't get one without upgrading your charging system first. and the guy was wrong, all he was going for was a sale, not to help you.

If you know when and where to use a cap, it can be very helpful. They were not designed to produce energy, but to store and release it at high speed.
Read up on battery, alternator and capacitor.
