To be totally honest I don't think there is a best cap cause they're all crap. But if I HAD to have one I would prolly go for a Lightning audio cap and that would be just for looks.

if caps are all junk, what is the best way to not drain to much power from your car?

Get a larger Alternator. Caps are not made to give you more power they are made to smooth out the spikes.

I have a 1995 chrysler cirrus, it comes stock with a 90 Amp Alternator and i've been looking online and i can't find anything bigger than 94 amps for the life of me. Does anyone know any sites that sell performance alternators or high output alternators?
