I see what you are saying, but I know how much difference a 1.2F cap makes with my 800w (conservative rms) car stereo when pushed. Without it, the headlights dim quite badly. With it, the dimming is hardly noticeable. Of course, more capacitance would obviously be better, but 4 of those small caps won't weigh much at all or take up much room and will at least help somewhat. They will be going to go in the rear battery compartment of the Jato. If I can fit two more in there (1.5F), I might try running 2s1p since the pulse load on the battery will be less.
