Ah, that photo of my setup is now in the Acura.

LiFePO4 battery is in the glovebox, and the ultracaps are sitting where the battery used to be.

I've got 2x 10 gauge cables going to the glove box. One has an XT60 connector and the other an XT90.

A pack at 15V would be 680F
I have a 5s pack of those 3v 3400 farad caps. It did cost an arm and a leg, something like $220.

It couldn't quite start my diesel truck, but then I only briefly tested and may need lower resistance connections.

I need to pull those off my shelf and see what I can do with them.

I've got 400 farad Eaton Ultracaps in my motorcycle, so those extra 50 farads might make the difference. Your engine is twice mine too.
