Which AMR Dual Clutch Product Code?
Found a deal on a new AMR dual clutch, however I see 2 different product codes. Anyone know the difference between the 2? It's the 6G33-11-10797. Want to make sure it fits early 4.7 Vantage (2010). Wondering if one of the 2 is for MY2014+ and one MY2006-13? Thanks for any help, google turned up nothing.
Also if it is the unit for later cars, which component would be different? Wondering if I can order just that piece to convert the kit to earlier cars, since the kit is priced right?
Product Code(s): 6G33-11-10821; 6G33-11-10797

You need the less expensive one, the 2014> is more because the torque tube measurement for the slave cylinder position has to be altered. Extra cost requires exchange of torque tube to be machined.

So by that the more expensive kit would work on the older cars? Ie, just skip the step of torque tube adjustment? I can get the kit NIB for around $2K even. Half what they normally run.

After checking a few sources, it appears the clutch components are identical. So the later MY version is backwards compatible, you simple ignore fixing the torque tube issue.
At $2100 shipped new in box, I'll take a chance. If it doesn't work, I'll try to replace just the part that is different (Hydraulic throw out bearing). Obviously the flywheel and pressure plate assembly will be identical. If it still won't fit it will go on the market.
Wish me luck!

I'm one of the sources
The difference between the two AMR kits is whether or not you need to change out the torque tube, which started in MY14. Your MY13 does not require that.
The AMR kit uses a slightly smaller clutch pack than VelocityAP's as well as a different flywheel. VAP uses the V12 clutch and a custom flywheel. All things being equal, the V12 clutch used by VAP should last longer and take more abuse than the AMR clutch. I recommend the VAP clutch package for my supercharger customers, but it's also worthwhile to get even if you're staying naturally aspirated (improves throttle response, lasts longer, etc). I've had it on my '07 V8V for a few years and love it.
Here's the AMR kit, including component weights:

And here's the VelocityAP kit, also with weights:

I should have given credit to Rich, bad form on my part. I was holding off until I had it installed in the off chance it didn't work.
That being said, I have had several email conversations with Rich in my short ownership period and he is always willing to help, even when not directly related to a sale on his site. He's a true enthusiast first, business owner second. He will get my money any time I have the choice. In fact the VAP clutch was in my cart for 2 weeks, when I fell onto this deal on a new, open box. Hopefully I will get the Supercharger from Redpants this summer.

I offered $2K, they countered $2200, I counter countered $2100, they accepted. Not sure if they have additional units in stock. Might be worth reaching out to them.
