Another Monster Level III Track Day So I got the car to the track finally. For anyone that doesn't know, it's been a long time coming. First the LS swap, then installed the 9", then the LS6 clutch didn't work so I upgraded to the Monster Level III lol... so it's been one thing after another with this car. Next thing on the list is going to be chassis/suspension tuning because the car just wouldn't hook up with the Nitto DR's. But, I will say that the Monster Level III was flawless all night. As other Monster owners have said, it grabed like a **** even though the tires woudn't lol.... The Monster didn't give any signs of overheating even when hot lapped. So far I'm very impressed with the drivability and track manners of this clutch. 
Kind of embarrased about the crappy ET, but I ran a string of 11.7X @ 123.

Here's the run, you can hear the tires spin half way through 2nd gear also.

No drill mod on mine but if I ever have it out again, I'll probably go ahead and do it. Or I might replace the entire line with an aftermarket piece.

Another update here. I made some tweaks to the suspension, tires and chassis. The car is hooking up a little better now so the et has dropped and I even gained some trap speed. Still got some work to do on the suspension but it's getting closer to where it should be running. The ET Streets helped a bunch on the traction but the tires still wouldn't hold anything over a 4000 rpm clutch dump.
Once again, the clutch performed FLAWLESSLY as usual. I can't say enough good things about this clutch other than it just flat out works!! Drove it to the track, and drove it home afterward.
60' - 1.815
1/8 ET - 7.459
1/8 MPH - 97.83
1/4 ET - 11.434
1/4 MPH - 124.67

Doing well I built a new motor last fall. My first complete motor without supervision. So far it seems to run well.( Ai long rod 355) I hope to make around 440whp when it's all sorted out. Then I'll hit the track.
I'm glad yours is running well. I hope to post some track times before it gets cold here.
