Hi Terry,
Which crane system are you using? XR3000 Hmm... maybe XR700
www.cranecams.com says 700-0231 3000-0231 for TR250 TR6 (up to 9.5:1 CR).

Ok, I guess I get it: XR700-231 for street performance and XR3000-231
for high performance. Whatever street vs high performance means.
Thanks,
Don Malling
