if you WANT one, you will require a 1farad capacitor.

you dont need one though, and you will get laughed at untill you bin it.

I wont laugh though, just because i actually LOVE your car :|


just upgrade the Big3, then decide if you want to waste money.

eh..?

have you already upgraded the big three?

it's THESE Wires that need upgrading.

4awg is thick, but 2awg and 0awg are thicker... i used 4awg to nd from amps, and oawg in the big three. that will sort you out.
