Default is my starter starting to go?

i installed a e303 cam, edelbrock rpm upper and lower, 70mm mass air and TB, 1.6rr last weekend and now after the cars been drivin hard it doesnt wanna start. kinda sounds like my battery is dead but i have plenty of juice cause i just installed a new battery and alt about 3 weeks ago. it only seems to happen when the cars warmed up and has been drivin hard. start's up no problem at 6am in 40deg weather. anyone else have any idea what my problem might be.... im also having idel problems too. every now and then it'll hop up to 1500-1800 rpm at idle and stay there till i turn the car off. can anyone help me out? any insight?

You need a high torque starter, mine does the same thing.

Do you have long tube headers? sounds like the starter is getting overheated if its starting perfectly fine in the morning and its only having problems after you have beatin on the car.
