EDIT: Started the car right up. Dropped by around 1v, and looked like it would have run the car for quite a while even without the DC-DC converter connected to it. I'm considering cutting the shrink wrap off so I can arrange it into a 3x2 rather than a 6x1.
I forgot to mention that 3x2 might be cutting it too close voltage wise for those caps. That gives you a max voltage of 13.5 assuming every cap is perfectly in balance.
