Alot of starting problems can be traced to bad wiring, replace all the wires going to the starter to include battery cables, up size the battery cables also. Don't buy a cheapo starter, they won't last long even on stock or fairly stock engines. Oil leaking onto the wires and starter will also make it worse. Also make sure you have excellent grounds from engine to battery and to frame, that way you ensure proper voltage to starter. I switched to a mini starter, but not because of heat, I needed a better starter to crank my engine with high compression. The remote selenoid is also a great idea, mainly because then the wiring doesn't get heat soaked(that's why I change mine ever few years) the wires can only take so much then the lose the ability to pass full voltage. Good luck.
