One hiccup I do see is that the OEM starter may not be quite fast enough at starting the engine as I'd like it to be. I drove a CRZ last weekend and that engine started instantly. You put it in gear and go just like it had been idling the entire time. I'm sure this setup will not be the same. The driver will have to account manually for the lag time of the starter.
