Default 383 Starter
Should i get a heavy duty starter with my 383 stroker. It will have 11:5 to 1 compression. I am only using my stock one right now. If so what should i run?
Thanks

You'll have to buy one. I killed my stocker almost instantly with my new 396. I had the local generator shop rebuild it. They put a stronger armature in it. Works great now. Check these good deals out from Summit.

All LTX vettes use the same starter. It's smaller, and lighter weight than the our units (as I thnk the f and b units are the same) and since the vettes (especially the LT4) came with more compression they'll start the car with ease
