With or without the UDPs, you should have problems. Do you?

If you have the Big 3 upgraded along with a HO alt, you shouldn't have a problem.

I seen someone ask about that one other time on here and people said as long as you got a Cap to make up for the little loss of extra charge then you'll be alright.

Bring the cap back if you can. It's a gimmick. It DOES work, but it's not needed at all. If you upgrade your big 3 wires (google Big 3 wires/audio, whatever), it has the same effect. Costs peanuts to upgrade, all you're doing is replacing the factory wires with a thicker guage.

Well a cap might still be good for you. You've got alot more power than I used to run. I had a 1200 amp hooked up to a 15", and small 50w x 2 for the components, and I had my rear speakers taken out. My lights dimmed only a little, but it drained out my battery once. Had to call AAA. People told me to get a cap, and I did the 3, never had the problem. I was thinking of getting a HO alt. Luckily I didn't cause now I've got the Stang.
