With the first LS motors now fifteen years old, it’s becoming a common occurrence of the OEM starters failing. More so, as we enthusiasts increase the performance, and more importantly compression, of these engines, having more torque to get things started becomes an important requirement. Powermaster’s lightweight starter is a great choice for both the race and street guys with engines up to 18:1 compression.

Powermaster Now Offers Full Range Of LS Starters

Powermaster Performance of West Chicago, Illinois is proud to offer a full line of light weight, high performance starters for the General Motors, LS series engine.  From stock upgrades all the way to 18:1 compression race engines, Powermaster has the LS covered.

Powermaster’s newest addition to the LS starter line is their Powermax starter, part number 9109. With a light-weight permanent magnet design, the 9109 provides higher cranking torque with low amperage draw for engines up to 10:1 compression. A 1.2kw starter motor and 6:1 planetary gear ratio result in a 7.5lb starter that packs a big punch in a small package. 12 clocking positions allow the already featherweight starter to fit in even more positions to clear headers, kick out oil pans, factory cooling lines, and more.

Features:

• Engines up to 18:1 compression
• Lightweight construction – 7.5lbs
• 12 clocking positions
