Yes...and maybe. 
The dual 550 motors work well for some guys.....who know how to start different engines on that particular box.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great starter box! Information I have read is that if your going to start the 1/8....21 engines....a 12 volt high torque motor is a good setup.
Now...as I finish typing this....I'm sure another person who has a dual 550 motor starter box will give you excellent feedback about how good he can start his 21 engine on his. I think it can become another.....Ford versus Chevy topic.....but don't sell it short or put it in the closet just yet. Wait and see what others say about theirs. I think it'll work for you.
One thing...as mentioned already....with that tight engine....loosen the glow plug 1/8 to 1/4 turn before you try cranking it over to help release some of the compression or chances are you'll not get it started before draining your starter battery.
My $.02 worth.

Nah thats more that $20 worth.. Gotcha thanks!
I tried turning it over with a few cheap batteries.. like 5 volts.. had power but dont know.. hopefully its better with 12v of juice flowing thru it
Thanks
