Good question, let me ask this what gauge battery cables are you running? Amps are needed to spin that starter, take a stock application say a 74 inch 8:1 comp and then look at the ground cable and the main power cable coming from the battery, not a large gauge wire right, it does the job but could be a little bigger. So, now you add comp, maybe electronic ignition more amps are needed. My thought is yes, I run 4 gauge cables, and as i posted before my routine is power on, kill switch off, lights off, crank the starter through by counting to five, kill switch on hit the button, 95% of the time hot or cold she catches and fires. The allballs starter is shorter no bracket is needed. Good luck

You need more battery CCA over 400 preferably, the All ***** 1.4KV starter and better heavier battery cable's. Did this dance with my 11.7-1 comp 93" shovel and she still grunts occasionally.
As John pointed out the ignition and timing does play a part, I run the Dyna-s with no electronic curves to worry about and retarded my timing a bit due to other factors and the crap gas we have out here.

I also have the dyna S ignition. the biggest battery that will fit in the box is a 325cca
my compression isn't nearly as high.
I have to check my cables today to see how big they are.
