TPI Starter question
Hey all,
The starter on L98 is about to die completely, and I was looking into getting a high torque mini starter. Anyone have any experience with them?
The one that I was eyeing up is this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-829100/
Are they worth it? What is a good one for around that price? (less than 150)
Thanks in advance!

The late Vette L98 Denso mini starters crank good.

Re: TPI Starter question
I'm using the Summit Protorque mini starter and love it. No more slow cranking hot starts and I think it sounds better than a stock starter. I've also heard good things about the LT1 starter if you're looking to save a couple bucks.

Re: TPI Starter question
Tim, just get an LT1 starter and don't look back.

Re: TPI Starter question
This may be a dumb question, but what makes the LT1 starter better than the TPI/mini starter?
