Do i need a heavy duty starter?
Do i need a heavy duty starter? Since I got the cam in my car my starter immediately went out within days. It literally ripped the bolts off the block and i had to get it re-welded but I think that may have had to do with a hardcore bottom out i had one day. i got a new starter from pep boys and had that put on. started up like a charm but my car idles terrible and sometimes i have to restart the car a few times to get it going. i think thats just putting more wear on my starter. it won't start up normal sometimes as i have to give it gas to help it out. is it going out already? is there some bad *** starter out there i can get to handle the load of the engine with no probs?

i agree with heapashifter, although i had my starter blow the entire nose/bendix gear apart after my cam, but it was jus coincidence. i recommend a high tq mini type starter, i got one cheaper that a stock replacement.....just a thought.
