Merv, we've been through this many times before in the past, but lets have another summary here:

o Putting a battery in the trunk is great, but doesn't help a starter sitting at 250+ degrees in the engine bay. It DOES keep a battery cooler longer and extends its life.

o Put a remote solenoid or relay in the trunk (or elsewhere), the starter is STILL where the power must turn the wheel, right?

o Those mini-starters (mounted to the engine as the originals) will still get exposed to 250+ degrees and most are made specifically for 1/4 mile race cars, correct?
