anyone running a mini starter>

if so what brand. this is for a 93 z28 auto. time to upgrade

i saw some on jegs...just wondering how they worked out...and if they are a little different to install versus a stock style starter. i am leaning toward the powermaster 9000 hitachi style starter on jegs.com

anyone with info...anyone?

I have one of Jegs house brand mini on my car , it works find with SLP mids. I did have to cut the end near the oil pan deeper . It would not bolt up without hitting the flange. I think I took off about .200 or so . You might be able to beat the flange flat but I work in a tool shop and went with cutting the stater instead.

I used the Jegs (formerly CVR) 555-10001 starter. It's adjustable, and cleared my LPPs nicely.

i also have the jegs hitachi style that;s multi indexable. i don't recall the part number, but it was more cash then the normal part #. i found the picture of it on summit , part # SUM-829100 . i did buy it based on a search on here, so may help to do some searching for hitachi part numbers and you'll get it. i also have lpps and my experience was tough. i should have installed the starter while i had the engine out of the car. I put my headers on first, then put the motor in the car, then the starter after everything was in the car. it was tough to get the bolt on the passenger side as there is no clearance on the lpp's to turn that bolt directly. you have to work with the 1/4 ratchet's and go slow... took a while, but no clearance issues.
