u will need the NTC3 clutch nut http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBMD5&P=7 and look at THS for the pipe and header kit for the RS4, thatll be perfect, and the performance will also be very good.

Thank for the reply. How much faster do you think it will be? And should I change the gearing because I know that .12 will turn alot more rpm then the t15 that's on it now.

I know they do but they're the best and they really achieve stready and continius pressure at the fuel line + they give engine more rpm and hp. Since he's talking about a .12 engine that should be the perfect choice and he can also use the pipe to a future better engine he might get (RB,Sirio etc.)

It can be seen several ways. A .12 is a small engine, suceptable to subtle tuning changes. A pipe on an engine like this that gives the gains discussed above will provide the most driving enjoyment. A smooth torque band and reliability are priceless, after hours of stalling.
The great thing about the pipe is that it is an investment. It's not a single time expenditure (unless he crashes and breaks it), it can be used with other .12 and .15 engines, and on other cars. That single purchase is easily a multi-time benefit.
