i canny mind 
its an uprated clutch for a c20let, also using a lightened flywheel for a c20let....
thats if the job is as easy as they say it is changing the bits over to take the let parts etc

i'd be extra happy with a 13 of any sort on its 1st ever 1/4mile.....
low 13 is realistic i think once its been around a bit

Ak have you got a list of nessecary parts for an XE conversion (with the exclusion of the stuff listed in the Conversion kit)

Ash.... use your noodle 
Boab - i have the m-tec kit..... no probs in the year solid i ran it..... Cant think of anything not mentioned in the kit.
also..... i wont be fitting more till its run in at least 
1 major thing to do once its run is the manifold.... upgrade to SBD or Tony Law, then i think the money has to go to suspension and prep work

I had another look at one of Tony Law's manifold's whilst over at Dan's the other day/night/whenever.
Such a funky piece of pipework! I think I'll get a quote on a BTB manifold too as they're a bit closer but neither will disappoint.
