Hello!! I go to start in the DB Drag in this end of year, and have a doubt on my Street category: I must use a capacitor of 1 Farad, therefore I repaired that the competitors do not costumam to use. Thank's

because a powercap isn't quick enough to give the power that your amp need..
when you actually burp you'll need at least a few hundred ampere's and a powercap cannot give you that for 3 seconds. i don't know the exact reason why it isn't used but this is what they told me and since i don't know anyone who is using any (and gets good scores) i wouldn't recomment it
i'm not gonna use it for my subs anyway.. it's better to place a special battery like the optima yellowtop or an exide then using a capacitator

When you burp, a cap will be empty after a few milli seconds, as soon as its empty it then becomes a drain on the system, drawing power from the battery trying to recharge.
