Default chalk another one up to monster

finally got my shot at the track with some sticky tires and a tick adjustable master cylinder (now I can bang some gears). I put the monster level 3 in around August, but my nt555's could never hold it to its true potential. Well..... the M/T et streets did. got a new best of 11.8 on the pass before (glad to be in the 11's) then I got greedy and gave her hellenjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcQacjxt_r4

Thanks, trust me, you wont be dissapointed with that combo, be glad your doing the tick at the same time, driving around with the monster and stock slave (even with the drill mod) was complete torture. Keep away from the sticky tires and youll probably be ok.

This is funny not to sound rude. I just got my Monster stg 3 in about a month ago and was just telling my wife that I will probably be needing a FAB 9 after I go to the track. Even talked to MWC to price one out. Good luck man car sounds great.

I am from down in Port Saint Lucie, cant wait to hit up PBIR and let it rip....

Whats are the Monster clutches doing to the Moser 12 bolts? I hae a Moser 12 bolt with 33 spline axles and a posi w/ 4.10s. I currently have a RAM 6130 VDS system and its great...just curious if the Monsters are better then RAMs and why.

I hate to hear you broke it, but damn nice run before the break!

Get the new diff in there and let us know what your new best times are!

We've broken a couple of 12 bolts out there as well. While I'm not familiar with the 6130 from Ram a little research shows these are not supposed to be used at anything above 450rwhp... if this is the case then there is no comparison.

Not sure if thats a clutch to take to the 1/4 thought it was more setup for highway driving and road course racing because of the material.

In comparison with Monster and Ram. Monster all day long.. I had a Ram dual disk big badass cluch, and it only lasted 30 or so passes and 2000 miles..

I was eyeing the Ram and Tex double disk but I wasn't sure which one would be good to get. I would hate to drop some big bills to get a clutch that would only last a few passes/miles. I was happy to hear that Monster was coming out with a double disk, I see it as my problem being solved!

Indeed!

Our twins will be releasing very soon, we are working out the final stages of production.

When these release it is going to surprise a lot of people, especially when they find out that you can upgrade your single to a twin at a later date.

Kinda funny how it works...a company come outs with a new clutch and everyone jumps on board, then a new one comes out and everyone claims the other one is no good. I have the complete hydraulics from RAM. I have no problems with my clutch at all and its taken quite a few 6000 rpm dumps and slicks!

I take it you haven't seen how this company stands behind their product.
