Monster Level 2 Twin. Rated at 1000hp/tq at the WHEELS! Also comes with a two-year warranty and un-matched customer service. Give us a call at 817-750-2000 to discuss pricing and package options.

I believe the Monster Level 2 twin uses the same material as the stage 3 single clutch, just in a smaller diameter. Meaning you get a clutch that can take 1000rwtq and people drive them all the time on the street. It's still not a stage one organic or anything but certainly drivable.

Yes! Our twins have excellent drivability characteristics. To the OP, let me know if you want to get an awesome clutch.

i'm interested in these as well....i currently have a textralia triple in my car and i believe it has issues now...i KNOW my slave is bad. Even if the clutch is fine, i want to swap it out. It's handled the power fine, but i don't like the fact that it takes a modified slave that i can't replace easily. It left me stranded in Detroit this year on the Power Tour. I want a clutch that will use a stock slave in case of future issues, if at all possible. My car is at 600rwhp NA, no power adders, but there's always the possibility down the road. Does the Monster Twin use a stock slave, or not? Are there other options? I just saw they now make a Stage 1 & 2 "Race" clutch. Are they any good?

The Level one twin is an organic disk and will drive damn near stock. The pressure plate is an 8" unit and uses the stock slave cylinder. I believe that the slave bearing is different due to the flat fingers on the plate but it's included in the kit. Your Quicktime will not play into this. They are an 8" disk. The Quicktime requires 11" and under I believe. I think even the monster 12" singles fit under the Quicktime but don't quote me.

I'm not too sure exactly how different the RXT and level 2 monster would be. If anything the warranty would sway me towards the monster. Plus if you get it rebuilt you get another two year warranty. I don't think it's their "no questions asked" warranty but still really good.

Take a look at our Super-Twin offerings on the link below. There are 4 different versions with ratings from 900lb.-ft to nearly 1800lb.-ft at the crank. These units have been tested and proven (time and time again) and provide great drivability as well as tremendous capacity. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks

Our Twin's are 8.5" and yes the Level 1 is very similar to stock. Our twins are FAR superior to the McLeod in every way imaginable. Our warranty is 2 years, should you have a problem. We stand behind our product 100% and will do our best to fix any issues you may have. Our kits do come with a different bearing due to the p/p fingers. Also you are correct- when rebuilt it will renew the warranty. Give us a call if you have any questions

Sounds like you need their twin and our slave and Master if you don't already have it.

Almost forgot, i have the remote bleeder and the battery relocation kit as well I was really impressed with the battery kit, which is saying something considering it's just a couple wires and terminal ends
