Hi, I am planning on getting several upgrades for my Volcano SV. I want to get a new clutchbell, air filter, exhaust header, and tuned pipe. I first have a question about the clutchbell, I want to get one that will raise my trucks top end speed but not hurt the bottom end a lot. How many teeth does my trucks clutchbell have on it stock and what would you recommend for a higher geared clutchbell. I am looking at a HPI clutchbell like this one, I am just not sure how many teeth I want to get it with:

I am also wondering if it would be worth it to get new clutch shoes. Here are two that I have seen for this truck, but I am not sure if the second one will fit:

I also need help in finding a better air filter, I am going to be getting it from Tower Hobbies, but I do not know what is a good one that will fit, here is one that I have seen:

As far as the header and tuned pipe go I am pretty sure that these are the ones that I am going to get, unless someone knows of any better ones:

How do you get the fuel pressure line to connect onto that pipe? It looks in the picture like it is missing a nipple.
Overall I am very satisfied with my Volcano SV, I just want to enhance its performance, especially its top speed.
The Clutch bell you have on the first link is the perfect clutch bell
Either set of HPI clutch shoes will work with your truck
The Air filters ok, but make sure you use Air filter Oil.
The header will work good.
The exhaust is ok but not that great, Cen Racing uses the same Engine as Redcat and there set up preforms like a champ and sounds good too. Find a Cen MT Spec 3.0 Exhaust or go to your local shop and ask them for cen Exhaust with the dual stinger and dual chamber. It's a killer exhaust and makes excellent use of the VX 18 Torque.
