What starter are you use with large cube and high compression engine.
I have a 44oci and 14 to 1 compression.
Will the stock starter work or would I be better off with Powermaster or TCI?

 

We use the stock starter with a 16 volt battery. Powermaster would be a good choice for aftermarket.

 

I use the stock starter with my 13:1 441.

 

I think the main thing would be to make sure you have very good and clean connections, also I like to use dielectric grease on everything elec. related.

Make sure your battery is big enough and is always fullt charged, even on stock motors I beleive that a well maintained battery will improve power output as well, by alowwing the alt. to work less during re-charge after a start. If my car ever sits more then a week, I will put it on a battery tender. I have got more then 6 years out of a atv battery this way. When batteries go dead, thats when they lose most of life and power.

Let us know what the car runs when its up and running.

 

Thanks for the advise, I will try the stocker to begin with.

I've used the powermaster with good success

 

stock should be fine.i use the msd unit on my 12-1 ls7.tried the powermaster and jegs unit and they would not work with my 2in arh,s.

 

I have a powermaster on my car, it cranks it over a 13.5 to 1 402 with no problems, with a 12 volt battery.

You use a 16 volt battery and the sky's the limit, you can pretty much start anything.

 

I've used a stock starter with more compression then this with no issues.
Good battery cables and connections are always very important!

For what it's worth:
Static compression isn't the concern.
Dynamic compression and monster valve springs for a solid roller application are of more concern.

 

I have a start retard in my box, its helps

 

Ditto. I used a powermaster on my last set up, 13.5-1 compression 427 with a .700" solid roller.
