red top is a C20XE, which is often just referred to as an XE.

Therefore, there is no difference at all between a red top or an XE, unless you are talking about the 20XE (without the 'C') which did not have a catalytic convertor.

XE as in C20XE or just 20XE is a "red top" engine.

the LET obviously has a few internal changes too due to the turbo, like low compression pistons, but basically the same engine otherwise.
