ok im debating on getting either a 5 farad cap from my friend for $100 or a 250 amp alternator...what would benefit me more?

hands down the alt. a cap is just a bandaid. the alt will give you the power you need now and prepare for when you need more later.

go with a high output alt. before any thing u can't go wrong and remember that if u choose the cap u will need 1 farad for every 1000 watts u are pushing![sm=trust_me.gif]
