I just bought a Torque Master from Summit. Haven't yet put it on. I put on next saturday. It fits 153 and 168 tooth flex plate. supposed to be 50-80% more powerful than stock starter. Guess we will see.

I used a GM factory Hi-Torque Mini Starter I bought at NAPA (Gold Series) and it works perfect on my 10.25:1 408...I believe the application was 98 Tahoe Vortech 5.7
