The battery can store thousands time more than capacitor, so to speak. So, it is pretty much useless if you are expecting capacitor power for even 1 minute
the 1400F 2.5V capacitor can provide only about 73W of power over 1 minute duration. So for 6 capacitor. you get about 438W for 1 min burst. If your alternator cannot supply enough power, capacitor cannot help since the alternator does not enough power to start with.
Capacitor can help for sudden power surge like in milliseconds that is beyond the capability of car battery but personally I think would be unlikely to happen in car environment. The car battery can provide far more power for 30s than those capacitor above I believe based on CCA rating

I connect it parallel so it does help when high surge occur.
Axia car battery voltage does dip below 8.5V when crank. Adding cap will improve my dip to 9.4V.
