For a recent project on a Chevy 350, we
opted to install the Powermaster PowerMax
Plus starter (model 9112). It’s designed and
developed to offer cranking power for high-
compression engines utilizing a Hitachi-
style, gear-reduction system incorporating a
permanent magnet for high efficiency, easy
indexing (for a quick installation) all the while
saving you weight when compared to OEM
starters. In addition to the weight savings,
the Powermaster mini-starter is also much
smaller thus giving you clearance for exhaust
headers and kick-out–style oil pans.
Now for the technical geeks out there,
this 1.7hp unit weighs in at just 7.5 pounds,
has an output of 160 lb-ft, along with a 6.10:1
gear reduction, and a 168-tooth flywheel
staggered mount.Powermaster
