The TCI Chevrolet Racing Starter is built for drag racing and any application where a smaller, lighter starter helps. Manufactured by Hitachi for TCI, it is about one-third smaller than most OEM starters, which frees up room for headers and oil pans and adds ground clearance. Every unit is new, not rebuilt, and supports Chevrolet engines up to 12.0:1 compression with multiple clocking positions and improved heat resistance near headers.
