What Mini-Starter for 11:1CR 540?
Who has had good luck with a mini-starter on a high-compression BB and what brand are you using? Any bad brands to stay away from? Thanks.

I use the OEM Corvette PMGR starters on my cars. Reasonably priced at swap meets, and I trust the quality/durability of these more than the aftermarket starters. These are only for the 153 tooth ring gear flywheels though.

I've used the basic Summit one for years on my 540/555. It's a CSR brand I think.. but basically it's a Nippondenso style starter that is a great design. It's really nice to get the version with the adjustable end plate where the starter can be rotated to different positions to clear headers/oil pans etc.

this is the best way, but the starter will fit both BB and SB engines,...not limited to any particular application

I have a ProTorq gear reduction 153/168 It kicks butt, but my friend paid less than half as much on one of these and he has a 547 with 17.5 on alki
