I've had a RobbMc for a few years. It starts the car reliably and I'd buy another. I had a slight issue with it right after I bought it and they fixed it and even upgraded the gear n/c while they had it. I've also used RobbMc fuel filters and highly recommend them. Great customer service.

Buy the RobbMc.

I've got a powermaster and it works great. Just get one that's "clockable," my powermaster was not but luckily cleared the header.

I have a Power Master now but if/when it goes out I'm getting a RobbMc. I have some of their other products and if their starters are of the same quality then its the one for me. Also, best customer service in the hobby.

If you need a shove over the edge due to the price I have two things to say.

1. Rob answers the phone him self.

2. Made in america.

I have had a Power Master on my daily driven 400 TA for over 10 years.
Very dependable even for searing hot soak starts with headers.
I hear RobbMc are good units.
