Upgrade your LS engine's starting system with a high-torque mini starter engineered for GM Gen III and Gen IV LS-based V8 applications. Featuring a powerful 3.0 horsepower motor and 3.75:1 gear reduction ratio, this starter delivers dependable cranking performance for street, performance, and LS swap builds.
