Starter Heat Soak problems
Is a heat shield or starter blanket good enough to fix it or should I just buy a high torque mini starter? Or should I get both?

A mini-starter will definatly do the trick. As far as the sheilds go, I've heard they work but never actually talked with someone who really uses one.
Oh yeah, 1 thing that I've heard is that once you start getting heat soaked issues, it will only get worse. So a sheild may work, but you'd end up replace the starter later anyways. That's just what I've heard though.
