I've heard of this before actually with a spec clutch my friend had in his C5. Being I hate spec and their customer service it pains me to say when cold out the clutch made noise yes. However it held in his near 600rwhp car for 3 years and 20k+miles I'd be willing to bet your clutch is gonna do the same thing.

This is a common problem with single disk clutches rated to handle lots of power. Monster's typical response to this is that there's a glaze built up on the friction disk and that you need to go beat the **** out of the clutch to wear it off. I've had similar experiences with a Textralia, and a few hard launches at the track cleared up the squeal and the chatter.
