I'm very happy with my powermaster starter with no nose cone. I had no problems with at 15:1. I did however have a problem with a Chrysler mini starter with the nose cone. I had it rebuilt but it would not fit the KB block very well so that was when I went with the powermaster starter.

I don't know of anything better than a Meziere. Spins a 13:1 572 hemi like the plugs are out of it. The powerglide adapter I had didn't have room for the nose of a stock starter and the Mezeire doesn't have one. I wouldn't go back to any other starter.

Meziere is likely the best. RobbMc also very good. We use an MSD for contingency money. Also a quality starter.

I have been running the same starter since I started racing in early 2000. This starter is out of a 94 Ram with a 3.9 v6 and had over 200k miles on it when I took the truck apart. Now it starts my 12.5-1 500" for the last three years.

I prefer the Powermaster Ultra Torque or Meziere they are 2 of the best out there.Use a Rock 16 volt battery with either one for the Ultimate cranking system.
When you get up in the 500+ cu in range and 15-1+CR ratio,a good 16 volt battery is just about a must!Sure a 12 volt battery will still crank the engine,but try a 16 volt and you will see the difference.

i'm not running real high compression but i'm using the same mopar performance starter that i bought back in '94. pulled the motor out to freshen it up a couple years ago and found the nose broke off. welded it back on and put it back in. i probably just jinxed myself
If you race and are serious about winning I can't think of any worse way to lose than a starter malfunction. I see this a few times a year and it's become a phobia for me. I not only use a quality starter I change it every 2 seasons.

I'm definitely not one to recommend anything from Mopar Performance, but I have their mini starters on 2 cars and they work great. The one that's on my cuda has been on it for about 14 years.
I also have a factory dodge starter (off a '90 something model truck) on my 14:1 440. Had it rebuilt before I put it on...works great.
