Thanks Jeff! The anti ripple cap pack. You are correct. It stores voltage for when it is needed. Without you will notice voltage drop or sag. The cap pack now has the voltage stored to supply when needed. Lots of speed run guys use them. I decided to get one after noticing the sag. Like if I nail it for 3 seconds WOT then let off. That same voltage isn't there for a second WOT. Now there is the same punch. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching my video!!
