Default Monster clutch for LT1. Who here wants one?

After seeing all the good stuff about Monster clutch for the LS1, I decided to call Monster and ask if they intended to produce a clutch for us "lowly" LT1 guys.

They said they are currently working on it and are trying to dial in the pressure plate to the spec that they want it. They said they might have something for us early next year.

I am very interested in this product line and I am hoping that others will contribute to this thread in order to show these guys that their product might be in rather high demand.

You guys at Monster, please keep us updated on the progress.

WHO ALL WANTS A MONSTER CLUTCH FOR THEIR LT1?

yes, Monster has been working on one for awhile now, and I know quite a few people have sent me some PM's and Emails looking for one, and wanting to know if and when it will be out.

All I can tell you, is what Steve already told you....so, let's wait and see,,

My car will be due for a new clutch this spring. I've kinda been shopping already...if Monster has an LT1 kit available by the time I'm ready to buy I may give it a shot.

Subbing.

I recently put in a mcleod disk with a stock LT4 PP in the LT1. So far its holding up. But I dont think its going to stand up to too many dragstrip launches.

I recently called Monster. Still working on the pressure plate.
Sigh.

Going to have to get another spec soon.

Sorry Monster, I have held out as long as I can.
I bought a Competition clutch to replace my Spec. Better hurry it up.
