Default Clutch Recomendations

Hello guys, I had to pull the tranny on my 01 ws6 and while its out of the car i would like to put a new clutch in it as well. (currently has an old used up stock one in it)

The car has intake, long tubes, exhaust, and a tune so it not making much more power than stock, and i plan on keeping it this way for some time (cruise around on the weekends and do some burnouts here and there as i already have a race car)

I don't want to spend crazy money on some of these clutch set ups i am seeing but wouldn't mind possibly getting a lighter fly wheel and a little better clutch

Lets here your recommendations, Thanks

Monster Stage 1 if you will stay at the bolt on level. Rated to 450 TQ IIRC
Stage 2 if you may do anything along the lines of a heads/cam or build. Rated at 550TQ I believe

Good reputations on both of those.

I've narrowed it down to either the monster or the stock Ls7. I have heard good things about both. I can get the entire stock ls7 with slave, new, from a member on here new for about 580. The monster with the slave is about 800 plus shipping. For my application is it really worth it to spend that extra money?

If you can wait for a sale I got my TDP (Diamond) stage 2 complete kit for $690 shipped good for 600hp. So a stage 1 would be a bit cheaper. I wouldn't waste my time on an LS7 unless money is an issue, it's just an upgraded LS6.

Do not get the chattering kind you will hate it for everyday driving and you don't need it.
