Capacitor to help save ECU?

Hello. I used to be DEEP into car audio when I had my cavalier a couple years back, and I know how capacitors are pretty much absolutely useless in car audio. (because they get drained in less then like 1/1000th of a second in a powerful system) But I was thinking in a normal car that has no HUGE power drains, do you think a capacitor would help mellow out the power to our haltechs and possibly make things run better and safer? I know it would not protect against spikes, but it would protect against sudden power drops a little bit.

Sorry was just up this morning day dreaming about how to keep my haltech safe... I swear my rx7 is a the same as having a 9 year old kid. Wonder if I should file for child support from mazda? Wait ... would that make me the dad or the mom? (hehe going to put that in my sig now!)

between the alternator and battery a capacitor might do something, but you wouldn't want anything between the battery and haltech

ive done it, it didnt make much difference.

at the time, the e11 was really fast, and it picks up EVERY little voltage change.
