You’ve already modified your engine and now think you can enjoy the rides of your life. But don’t forget that if you’ve upgraded your engine, you’ll also need a new starter. While often overlooked by many racing enthusiasts who are completing a build, a starter can make a difference between winning a race and getting stuck in the middle of nowhere. A starter is a vital vehicle component that turns over an engine until the combustion process takes over, and the engine starts spinning on its own. When you turn the ignition key or press the start button, the solenoid activates and starts transmitting power to the starter motor. The motor in its turn engages with your flywheel or flexplate that is connected to the engine’s crankshaft. This is what causes the engine to turn.
A factory-installed starter doesn’t require any maintenance and can serve for the life of your vehicle. However, it works great only for a factory or slightly modified engine and is not powerful enough to handle the demands of high-compression engines. And even if the OEM starter boasts a considerable amount of torque to give your engine the required cranking power, it still can’t be used with a highly modified engine. This is because high-performance engines have a high compression ratio, which can cause starter kickback and lead to starter failure. To avoid any starting issues, outfit your modified vehicle with one of the premium racing starters offered on our website. We carry starters from the most reliable manufacturers in the industry such as MSD, Proform, Powermaster, and much more, so be sure these starters offer uncompromising performance and reliability.
While each manufacturer uses their own approach to stater design, they all agree on one thing: racing applications require performance parts of exceptional durability. Unlike OEM starters that often use plastic components and weak casting materials, racing starters we offer are made using billet aluminum and high-grade stainless steel to withstand the load of big-cube engines. The use of these materials not only increases strength but also reduces the weight of the starter. This is particularly beneficial for drag applications where smaller and lighter starters are required. Remember, if your starter is too big for the place it’s installed in, you’ll have clearance problems with exhaust header, which can result in overheating of the starter. Many high-performance starters also use compact gear reduction systems that reduce starter size and at the same time help increase the starter’s torque output and cranking power. We offer starters with very high torque rating ranging from 160 ft-lbs to 250 ft-lbs to ensure you'll find the one that will meet your engine requirements.
