Product Details

The Tilton Engineering Severe Duty Super Starter is engineered for high-compression V8 racing engines where maximum cranking power is essential. Featuring a 3.75:1 gear reduction ratio, this high-performance starter delivers 50% more torque than OE starters while maintaining a compact footprint that's less than 2/3 the size of stock units. The reduced dimensions provide critical clearance around headers, oil pans, and frame components in tight engine bay configurations.

Performance Specifications:

  • 3 HP (2.2kW) motor output for superior cranking power
  • 43% more cranking power than standard Super Starters
  • Low 250 amp current draw for improved electrical efficiency
  • Approximate weight: 12 lbs
  • Full ball bearing construction for durability in extreme temperatures

Applications and Compatibility:

  • Recommended for 450+ cubic inch V8 engines with compression ratios over 11:1
  • Ideal for engines with small diameter flywheels
  • Compatible with Quarter Master rear mount bellhousing (110-tooth flywheel)
  • Compatible with Sonic rear mount bellhousing (105-tooth flywheel)

Built for severe duty racing applications, this starter features all ball bearing construction that resists the adverse effects of extreme heat and cold cycling. The efficient 250 amp draw leaves more electrical capacity available for ignition systems, ensuring reliable starts even with high-compression race engines. At approximately 1 inch longer and 1 pound heavier than Tilton's standard Super Starter, the 54-41052 delivers the additional cranking force needed for demanding competition environments.

I received my hard to find parts very quickly. thank you.

Great and the tires are nice too!

Had exactly what I was looking for and delivery was fast.

Everything was great from autoplicity, but Fed ex their tracking of shipment sucks. All it does is say shipped, then in transit, finally delivered, that isnt order tracking that's basically the shipping process, it said in transit for 3 days (of course) leaving me with no idea how close it is.

Great products and price and car fitment check

first time ive order from here and my experience was great! shipping was crazy fast. and they had the best price shipped on the 2jz arp head stud set i could find. also how on their site they actually list if they have the part in stock and how many which is very helpful. ive payed for parts to find out the vender didn't even have them available. which lead to more down time. and we all hate down time :)

I ordered an Optima battery for my truck after I did a Google search for the battery. Autoplicity was the cheapest on the Web. Even cheaper then eBay. They got me hooked. Thanks Autoplicity

Best price on the internet. A lot cheaper than amazon, so I was pretty surprised.

This is the first time I've ordered from Autoplicity. I found they had the best price on the item I was looking for and decided to try them. I ordered this item yesterday(Sunday) and was just informed that it shipped. That is quick. I am pleased with their customer service and will use them as my first source.

Easy to do business with BEST PRICE anywhere!! Shipped and arrived quickly

Excellent customer service. Treated me very well. Issued a refund, no problem. Thank you!!
