Spin Your High Compression Engine to Life with a Powermaster XS Torque or Mastertorque Starter

High compression engines need a starter with a lot of torque to kick them to life. Powermaster XS Torque and Mastertorque gear reduction starters make plenty of torque to turn over engines making 14:1 or even 18:1 compression. And they do it reliably, start after start.

Powermaster XS Torque and Mastertorque starters also have adjustable mounting blocks so you can clock them to clear most headers and kickout-style oil pans. Powermaster even dyno-tests each starter to make sure it produces the cranking torque you expect.

XS Torque Starters have an extra-powerful motor that makes up to 200 lbs.-ft. of torque. Coupled with its 4.4:1 gear-reduction ratio, the XS Torque starters can handle engines with compression ratios as high as 18:1. Applications include:
• Small and big block Chevy, 348-409, 230-292 inline six-cylinder
• GM LS
• Small block Ford, 351C/M, 400, Boss 302

• Willys/Jeep 134 four-cylinder

Mastertorque Starters generate up to 180 lbs.-ft. of torque and have a 3.25:1 gear reduction ratio to handle compression ratios up to 14:1. The starters have a black powdercoat finish. Applications include:
• Small and big block Chevy, 348-409
