Man, I just checked out you website and those prices are killer. I will be in the market for a clutch in a month or so after the motor and rear are done. Hope there is some feedback by then. Plan on 625ish at the wheel and 6500 clutch dumps all day long!!

I've been looking at the monster clutch line but had a question. I see the flywheel is sfi rated but is the pressure plate and clutch?

Please write a review! I've got quite a few of these out in the GTO's and they are loving them!

The flywheel is SFI rated, but, the pressure plates and discs are not. The thing that will fail and cause serious damage is, in most cases, the flywheel. I've not considered getting these certified, however, if this is an issue for many customers, I'll get it done.

Let me know if you need any info, I can point you in the direction of many people who have installed these in their cars.

If the vehicle doesn't see much street duty the Level 4 would be perfect. What you have to remember is that sintered iron will wear components quicker than the cera-metallic will. So, if you are looking to get the best holding capacity in that range without worrying too much about mileage, get the Level 4, if you are worried about mileage get the Level 5.

well the reason i ask is going by the IHRA rulebook it says the clutch flywheel and pressure plate need to be sfi rated if you run faster then a 11.49. I Know most tracks must not seem to pay much attention to this because most of the people on here that I've seen don't even have a sfi rated bellhousing. That being said i don't want to buy another clutch setup if i can't race. Trying to do it right the first time.

Understandable.

I'll look into it, I don't want to miss sales if we can rectify the situation with certifications.

I'll keep ya'll updated.

Do the twin and triple come with a flywheel? Also the SFI would be a big plus.

Thanks

They come with a flex plate like an auto since it does not need a surface like a single disc does.

Correct.

We are working on a "complete" unit that incorporates the flywheel and the clutch assembly.
