Answer 1

why not? i'm running 1160rms with stock alt and batt. and no cap!

Answer 2

Yes.

A capacitor does NOT prevent dimming lights. That's not their purpose.

If you have dimming lights you may want to at least do the Big 3 - - that is to replace (or add to) the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 2 AWG wire.

Answer 3

yes but your going to need an capacitor or your lights will start to flicker and dem. or you can run a line off your alternator from your car.
