Been away from the forums for years. Is the tick adjustable master still the way to go?

monster stage II 100% streetable meaning OEM engagement, no chatter, etc.. ???

I want whatever I do this time to last me for the next 100,000 miles.

OEM masters been thru 3 of those already

getting 100k mi on a clutch like a Monster stage 2 (or any other brand) with a car making 500 "rear" wheel HP is a long reach unless you just drive the car like a 6 cyl put put. The monster stage 2 notes a 40k mi lifespan on the Tick site, YMMV.

The stage 2, like other clutches with more aggressive friction material than stock organic type do have a "tendency" to chatter on initial engagement. Proper break-in and adjusting the clutch release/RPM technique typically resolves issues like chatter...although that engagement window is often narrower than with a full organic disc clutch to not have chatter.

Dual (two) disc clutches with full organic discs like McLeod or Monster hold a ton of power and drive like stock...

Yeah the tick master is still best. Get the 3/4" bore vs the 7/8" bore for better feel.

If you can swing it in your budget, Carbon Fiber clutch material is as close to infinite as it gets.

There aren't many of us in 500 hp territory on a manual, fewer that DD them, and the mixture of clutches is rather wide. You'll fine for the most part those of us in that group are running multidisc clutches. Of that group, I don't know of anybody unhappy with Carbon fiber

For that power level, and wanting that durability. The only clutch in the after market that will last that long would be our LT1-S twin disc.

Also that Tick master is a great unit, just keep in mind that it will make the pedal about 30% stiffer, compared to stock.

Give us a shout if you want to go over details.

Yeah, you are going to want to step up to a twin disc. I replaced a Monster 3 with an LT1-S unit, and the car is so much more enjoyable to drive now.
