.....but im cheap tho, lol. Would a heat gun not work good enough? I see some guys at my local track just hold a heat gun on for a few seconds and fire it up, then it naturally heats. I recently got ahold of a fairly new GO engine and the pinch is real tight. Would pre-heating help get it started when the pinch is tight like this?
I'd rather buy 1 Competition Warmer for each engine I own, than to replace/rebuild each engine I own every 3 or 4 gallons ;-)

Trust me....until you try one, you have NO IDEA what you are missing. I leave mine on my engine darn near all day on race day, unless I'm wrenching on it or it just came off the track. My starter box gets a rest since it fires near instantly EVERY time. My engine gets a rest since it;s not forcing 2 pieces of metal into each other just to get started and warmed up. My wallet gets a break from less rebuilds and overall maintenance ;-)

It's a win no matter how you slice it. Best $100 I ever spent....OK well a close second to my tools ;-)
