All though heat soak can be a problem for any starter, the minis minimize this with gear reduction, it's MHO that heat soak problems with Cobras are overstated. You only have to see how the header pipes in a Mustang w/FE wrap around the starter and compare that to the relatively open area of a Cobra to see what I mean. On the contrary, I believe that most "starter" problems in Cobras are cabling and power management issues rather than the starter its self. I, and I know of quite a few others, are running OEM type starters with no problems what so ever. I also made my own ground and starter cables using #1 welding cable just to make sure that I'd have no amperage drop off. I've gotta say, if it works, it works.
