	Ok, so for a MC motor.  I would have to use the 3b unit but would
have to move the index pins.  Right.  AM I better off lightening the stock
unit.  What is the difference between 5ktq and 200mc and 200 3B units?

	I would think so.  Is it hard to launch.  Was this done to the
Coupe I drove.  I assume you mean the Turbo Motor but not sure.

	You went 11 lbs.  Again, which Flywheel.  How much was the
