If the solenoid is in good condition and the power lead from the battery is properly sized and in good condition, it's probably not a huge issue.

I still run a factory type starter, but it's fairly new. My engine soaks to about 210 if I've been hard on it and shut it down. No issues with cranking the engine after sitting for 5-10 minutes or so.
