Default Monster clutches Level 3 Vs. 3.5?

Im in the market to buy a new clutch and with all the great reviews i've read about monster im wanting to go with the Monster Clutch brand. Im just not positive on which level i would like the best. Has anyone ran their .5 level clutches long enough to get through the break in period? I have an 02 Z28 heads and cam car with 12bolt. The car gets daily drove but also will be seeing the track soon, atleast a couple times a month on slicks. I Like the idea of the no chatter guaruntee with the 3.5 for my daily driving, but with hearing people talk about the level 3 grabbing harder gives me concern of giving up possible performance at the track with a 3.5. I guess thats mostly whats keeping me from pulling the trigger on a 3.5. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys

i'd think the level three would perform better.........smaller moment of inertia than the full face disc. I think there is a lot of unnecessary hype about chatter in these cars, its really not that bad.

For what you want to do I'd recommend a 3 or 4.

Keep in mind that our 3's and 4's don't chatter when broken in properly, the x.5's are mainly for piece of mind.

Give us a call and we'll get you taken care of, you won't be disappointed!

Drove a friends Fbody this afternoon with a Level 5 monster (have been told uses the same 6puck disk as level 3) and no chatter, felt good, so decided i'd go with the 3.

Talked to Steve at SNL Performance when ordering the level 3, couldnt be happier with the customer service. Real nice guy Thanks!!

I've got 20K on the Level 3 in my GTO. There is very little chatter, and it grabs hard still. You'll like it.

i have had a level 3 in my car for 1400 miles love it drives great even in traffic just got to get use to it first, there was little to no chatter at all when it was first installed but what was there went away by 400 miles or so... good decision

I have the stage 3 with 550 miles so far, the I am about 90% chattter free.

If I did it again, I would go with the 3.5.
