After reading up some, I'm not worried about load dumps, the cars' battery will never be disconnected while the system is running. Cranking is another issue. Since I am not pulling directly from the battery, I'm fairly sure a voltage drop would be pretty crappy, but not the end of the world. The power schottky rectifier should take care of the input voltage dips/ripples, while the beefy 3 - 330uF caps should support the 5v for a couple seconds input voltage dips. I've tested this, and so far no ill effects. The car I'm testing on has an "eco start/stop" function, so while unfortunate as it maybe, the car has to restart constantly, ugh. I'll do more power testing/data verification.
Thanks for the heads up, learning lots on this project.
