Saves a little weight and also helps if you have huge amounts of compression that the stock starter would have trouble turning over.

Agree, but to elaborate a bit - unless you are looking to spend $$$ for no good reason, if your stock starter is working, use it. It's one of the few things on my car that is still stock!

I use a CSR mini starter, it cranks up to 11.5 to 1 motors and im 11.25 so its right there, its VERY light and also has the best clearance for my headers.

Re: Mini Torque Starters

Whats the stock starter good up to? Im going to be running 12.6:1 when I get my motor back together. Should I get a mini? I was lookin at one on jegs. It was a jegs brand and it was barely over 100 bucks..
