Default Monster stg2

Would this be a good choice in a 420 rwhp Z06, or would i be wise to go with a spec ss, cause the hp level will keep increasing, as time and mods continue.

The 3 does grab quite nicely and pedal feel is not much heavier than stock. I drove my buddy's mustang with a spec in it and his felt allot heavier monster clutch hands down my friend

I went with the stage 2 for the fact of the full face disc instead of a puck style

I got full face due to my car being driven daily for 3 years lol never seen the track. Now if you're trying to get a harder grabbing clutch so she won't drive your car that's between ya'll haha but honestly my stage 2 grabs pretty damn good

No issues with it slipping? I dont want to run into that issue after the trouble to do a new clutch. I am wondering if the stg3 would be to aggressive and heavy for her? Its a D/D too.

Never had a problem with it in a year and a half in my heads/cam car I love it! I was told by the shop I get my work done at and by a monster sponsor that I ordered it from that considering my car is a DD only and not a track car then i would like the stage 2 much better. But i've seen people DD stage 3's but I'm completely satisfied with mine 100%!

A Level 1 will get you taken care of at your current power level, but we all know it's never enough...what are your future power plans? The Level 3 will be a little more aggressive of an engagement than the Level 2 because of it's higher coefficient of friction. Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you're ready to order.

I had a stage 3 in my car and I loved the feel. Took a little getting used to but I would do it over again in a heart beat.

Thanks Chris, I will likely do heads next or s/c, that will be it. I'll give you a call when ready, likely in the next wk.

Sounds good, if a supercharger is in your future I'd go with the Level 3. If staying NA then I'd recommend the 2, let me know when you're ready.

So will the stg 2 actually handle 550 rwhp? So if i'm at 500hp than i should have no trouble, cause i dont mind spending the extra for the 3 to prevent any disappointment!!
