Default High Torque Gear Reduction Starters! Very Cool!

These new ProComp Pro Thunder High Torque Gear Reduction Starter Motors turn the engine over faster than any stock starters.
Producing between 30 - 40% more cranking power, these 100% Brand NEW starter motors also feature an offset design resulting in more clearance between the oil pan and the starter. These new Pro Thunder Starter is designed to crank over the highest compression engines on a hot day. They feature all new components beginning with a three horsepower motor, a reduction 4.4:1 gear set and a Anodized and Powder Coated assembly to protect and keep it looking good. The armature is balanced during assembly and is guided by two ball bearings for smooth engagement and thousands of starts The Pro Thunder High Torque Gear Reduction Starter also features a billet aluminum mounting block that can be positioned in different locations to help clear suspension parts, the oil pan and exhaust systems.

1 Year Warranty

Because this starter takes 2 long bolts instead of one short and one long, we are supplying one long bolt with the starter to go with your exiting long bolt. We also rotate the starter for you to the same position that worked best on our engine. Also there is a small tab that is cast into the housing of the starter that touches the block. We are machining that off for you. It is one of those things that you wouldn't notice but it binds against the block when you tighten the bolts down. We found it because our engine was out when we installed it and had a good visual. We have been in contact with ProComp and they want to work with us to resolve it. Its a minor issue if you know its there and nothing you need to worry about because its taken care of when you receive your starter from us and in no way affects the warranty.

Added pictures below to answer some of the questions we are getting asked.:thumbs:
