So it's time for me to get a new clutch and I'm pretty much set on doing a Monster stage 2 with their 18 lb flywheel. I DD my car and it is mostly stock engine wise. Does anyone have experience DD'ing this combo? I know that a lighter flywheel isn't going to be as nice to DD but I'm willing to sacrifice a little comfort for performance and I don't think 18 lbs is crazy light. So any thoughts / experiences would be helpful. Oh and I'm planning on running a tick master along with this setup if that makes a difference.

I had no problems when I had my aluminum flywheel in my daily. Little more gas when you take off is the biggest problem you might have. I'd go for it.

I have thousands with this setup, it's easily done and easily managed in a Fbody, especially one with gears.

The master you speak of will add some stiffness to the pedal, keep that in mind. It's hands down the best on the market, just making sure you're aware of what it will do.

Give the guys at Tick a call, they offer package deals with my clutches (Monster) and their masters that will be hard to beat!

you can go with a stage 3 too, cover up for the future plans & its only a 50$ difference hell add a 100$ and you'll never change it again. although the higher you go the harder it gets.
as a new monster user (i used to have a center-force (didn't know)) but if i compare it you won't notice the difference driving wise you'll notice a difference in power, grip, rpm(depends more likely on your flywheel). think it threw before proceeding

I DD that setup, minus the tick master, and I love it. I thought it might have been harder to get the car moving from a stop, but honestly the difference is very small. I'd say go for it man.

I'm considering to get a Monster complete premium package/kit but still undecided for level 2 or 3 for hardcore DD and track, later down the road. Goals are 450-475 rwhp.

Go with the level 3. I dd my level 3 with 18lb flywheel for about two or three years with no problems. Some say a heavier flywheel will help in the 1/4. It's a toss up. But it's not like you're sacrificing allot for a level 3 with a tick master and a light weight flywheel.

I DD the this setup too with the tick master and it honestly doesn't feel any different to me. I also take it to the track about 2-3 times per month.
There is very little difference in taking off from a stop but that's about it, the drive-ability isn't any different to me at all.
The only difference I saw in the flywheel is the RPMs. They will spin up to the top faster than the 28lb because of the weight.
The guys at Tick installed mine and I couldn't be happier.

My wife daily drives her Tick/Monster Lvl2 with 18# flywheel every day. Its easy to drive, and the only noticable difference is the pedal pressure is firmer.

I just did the Total Driving Experience and I believe the Vettes have the stage 2 Monster. I couldn't tell any difference in pedal effort. Also this may prove the clutch from a durability stand point as the cars are ran all the time with a variety of drivers.

AmDWs6

level 2 with a tick master is just going to be less firm pressure wise with no difference to drive-ability (comfort wise) unless your so weak or bored to even push the pedal, till now i really do see a difference when i had a center-force and the gm master only pressure wise true a little change is there in the way you launch the car but it's way much better so if your thinking about it for dd stage 3 should be more fortunate, and fyi i have the 28lbs flywheel, get the tick with a stage 3 you won't regret it

I've been DDing this setup with a lot of miles and over a years worth of driving. Wouldn't change a thing!

Oh, i have the 18 lb. flywheel wth the monster stg 3, its a sweet set up you may need a slight increase in rpms on the take off but other that its butter especially with the TICK master cylinder.

What are the advantages of the lightweight flywheel in a street car besides a little quicker reving?Looks like the regular weight flywheel would be better for the street with easier take off from a dead stop,and better durability (steel vs.aluminum).Could one of the vendors elaborate on this?

The driveability with the lighter flywheel doesnt give us any problems. Thats in a cammed, full bolt on WS.6 thats driven daily, traffic, cruising, whatever.

The 18# f/w from Monster isnt an aluminum piece. Its billet steel. I stole this pic off Monster's site.

Yeah I've been daily driving my car with the lightweight flywheel for over a year and probably 15k+ miles. It drives great. The 18# flywheel is the perfect weight. I think some of the other aluminum ones that are like 8-12#s might be a little much though.
