I just bought the MSD one, when i called MSD and asked them, they told me i will still have to use the timing retard to start the car due to high cylinder pressure and a locked distributor. i have heard this from several racers as well.

I use all Powermaster Starter, Alternator and looking to go with one of there batterires. All top notch stuff

This is one area you don't want to skimp on,its very costly,broken flywheels,starter drives,etc.Make sure you have a good battery/batterys

I like the big Tilton starter, I have broken a Powermaster starter, The drive off of the motor sheared off in a 10-1 comp. ultra street 540.

I use CSR, but at 13:1 it will kick back if the battery isn't the greatest.

I own a CSR platnum series 300.00 starter on my big inch high CR motor,it works good.
I also run which is on my motor as we speak an ebay 88.00 copycat that works just as good - there are a few internal differences but are they worth 300 bucks ?

Never had a problem with my CSR Platinum. Even on the old 13.5:1 combo w/o using a start retard. I do have dual Optima batteries though too.
