My 395 cubic inch 22:1 compression diesel draws 350 amps when starting, but it does have a gear reduction starter.
The gear reduction starter is smaller, a lot lighter and draws a lot less power than a direct drive starter.
If you dont have a gear reduction starter you might want to see if there is one made by some after market company.
A gear reduction starter would be a good step towards an some type of alt delete or just making your car lighter with the light weight starter and smaller battery.
