Default OEM LS starter power level?
Anyone know the factory HP level on an LS OEM starter?

I see some of these aftermarket units advertise “3hp” and "high torque" starters. But I don’t know what the factory starter is for comparison. Are these really any better? I picked up a "3hp high torque" mini starter mainly for size and weight purposes. Just curious if it’s even an upgrade over OEM.

Strong enough to spit rods if the motor hydrolocks.

That's not helping me much in comparing a factory starter to aftermarket. Anyone?
