RE: Starting my GT-500 has become a drag!
By Dave Shoe - 02/13/2001 2:22:47 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
Ministarters is the only way to go if you run either headers or high-compression with your FE. Stock FE starters just don't cut it when the heat or load starte to climb. Not even the spendy NAPA rebuilt starters - as frequently demonstrated by stories in the FE forums.

I've repeatedly heard the Tilton works great. That's what's going into my next build.

I know the McCord (or whatever that McName is, I forget) ministarter doesn't fit any FE with Hookers (I've tried Galaxie, Fairlane, and Mustang Hookers - all no-go with this starter. Manifolds would seem to work).

The CVS is also rumored to be a good item.

Never heard of the Mean-Green before, but with a name like that, it's GOTTA be good.

Mini-starters do crank the motor over faster, better, and seem to live lots longer, but you gotta fork out the money. You don't need to break down far from home or swap starters too often to realize the price is worth it.
