Starter heat shield

Ok- there are three advantages of running a slave solinoid on a go.

1- Does away with small wire going down to starter that can burn against header
2- Keeps voltage off of the battery cable going from slave to lower solenoid.
3- most importantly the solenoid on the starter works much better with full voltage provided by a 10 gauge jumper from battery post to start terminal overcomming heat related issues.

The smaller starters with the solenoid on the bottom or off to the side make things a lot better. In the old days, I would wrap the solenoid with a rolled piece of aluminum, secured with a hose clamp..Plus the factory starter shield.
Are you having a problem ,Randy?
