But I do have the mini starter which weighs 8 lbs to the OEM's 16 and it's also prettier I know this will bite me in the a$$ but in it's going.

Would appreciate any comments from FE users about performance, longevity and reliability. MY SO is 427 inches and 10.4 compression. The starter is an IMI Performance Hi-Torque.

Chas,

I've used a couple of mini starters on street machines and my cobra and I've had great luck with them. Smaller, lighter, less current, more torque and adjustable to solve problems associated with aftermarket bellhousings, headers, etc.
