As well if you have an aftermarket UDP you might want to try putting the stock one back on.

A cap in my opinion won't do anything because it will just be added to the list of things the alternator will have to charge. This will make the alternator work harder, and therefore no help the problem.
What kinda system are you running? I probably have one of the most amp sucking systems on this board and I don't really have that much of a problem with my headlights dimming.

What happens with the cap is that it charges up while the system is not drawing a high amount of current, and then when the amp needs a higher current draw it will discharge the cap, before it pulls from the whole system.
(if you want more tech. details I will gladly go into detail)

I don't need anymore details, I'm in electrical engineering so i understand how the cap helps the system. Thanx for the info
BTW i don't have UDP pullies, as much as i may want them i know with a system its not a good thing
