Holy crap you guys get crazy!

Getting back to starters...Mean Green makes an awesome gear-reduction starter for around $300.00. True, it's pretty pricey but it spins my 2.4 over twice as fast as the Bosch even in the cold. Granted, there were some problems when I first got it. It was the first starter for a 2.4/3.0 they had sold and it was a bit tight to the flywheel, but they've got it sorted out and it works perfectly now. It's so efficient that I went from a huge John Deere tractor battery with 1200 CCA to a series 24 battery.

P.S. I've got an almost new, rebuilt Bosch for sale!
