    Yes I race with it but I can slip it with it fully engaged. Ask Kurt how many clutches hes went through.

    Lipe is the cheapest option and trust me you'll get used to changing them.

    Got me thinking about this now but I just got done over hauling a 2ws with some extra uuumff in it with help from a few members here.

    18 does sure sound nice. 18 liter, 18 speed trans, 18 wheels. I'm still missing something.

    Just thinking out loud.....have you got a C-18 short block core? That has to play a part in the cost. I wouldn't think Cat would take a 16 core for an 18.

    The C-18 will not build anymore Hp that a C-15/C-16. In my opinion it is a waste of money. Everybody that has done this hasn't been that happy in the end

    Mr. Haney, do they use the same head? Just pondering what the limiting factor is....
