I agree--the engine is very responsive to throttle and rev-matching to
facilitate downshifts is easy whether with a full double clutch or simply
blipping
the gas. The 100's overall feel versus that of my wife's BN7 is like a
comparing a cutting pony to a draft horse.
BTW a few days back I differed with someone's post that the BJ8 clutch will
not clear the BN1 bellhousing. and reported that the BJ8 clutch fits my BN1
just fine, but did not state that I have a Smitty's setup. My apologies to
that poster for taking issue with your statement which was no doubt correct.

I have the Denis Welch flywheel
installed in my BN2. I also have his aluminum head and 100M cam and the
rest of
the 100M set up. I also have a BJ 8 clutch set up. I have found NO need
to
shift more slowly. My car is extremely responsive up and down the RPM
range
and it will run circles around most 3000's. Sorry to Big Healey Owners. I
have had several including Gold Concours. I'll take my little roadster.

Ps...My car is basically a sister car to David Russell's (God Bless Him)
and
Michael Oritt's. So if you have seen theirs you have seen mine. Michael,
how does yours run? I KNOW the answer.
