Ultracaps are expensive, a less expensive option would be to use LiFePO4 batteries.
A 53ah pack like I use will have no problem taking a charge at a rate of well over 150 amps.
Also if you don't like the idea of an engine driven alternator there is an alternator relocation you can do that moves the alternator to the drive shaft. Hot rod guys do it to just to clean up their rods engine bay or if they don't have room for an alt under the hood. With something like this you could charge the batteries as needed like during EOC, but it only will work on RWD and 4wd vehicles.
