12v DC to 9v DC

So using a 2200µF capacitor it is then... im also guessing since im using a 9v regulator, the slight 12v drop under load will not hurt anything.

Ps- Do i have to replace C1 with the 2200µF capacitor or just add to the rest of the components used.

I'm guessing that the amps-squared-seconds rating of the 'former's internal diodes is about 10, which means the diode can stand 35 A for .008 seconds.
Depending on the internal resistance of the 'former you may want to put a small resistance in series with its output to cushion the current surge from your huge filter cap.
 
The regulator will work properly providing the input voltage is greater than about 11.5V.

With a 2,200:mu:F capacitor the minimum input voltage will be 11.9V which is fine.

The maximum surge will be around 13A according to LTSPICE and most rectifier diodes can easily handle that.
 
So i guess everything is fine then, i'll just add a 2200µF capacitor to the already shown circuit and it should be alright, correct?
