I just wanted to provide the correct info to those interested in what is provided with our clutch kits. All of our LS1 clutch kits include our built High-Clamp Pressure-plate, Clutch disc, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool. We do not manufacture our own slave for these cars though we have supplied OE replacements in the past as requested. Our warranty is 120-days from the date of purchase and it cover manufacturing and materials. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

Sorry about that, I missed the release bearing, thanks for clarifying that.

Exactly. I would think one day that someone will have a problem, but so far their reputation is impeccable, and you got to love that. We can only hope that this company stays true (no reason to think otherwise) to what they have done so far:
Offer a great product, at a great price, with a great warranty and with great customer service!
I have teh Level VI by teh way, not installed yet, car under construction

You bet Steve! Car is coming together nicely. Motor plate is mounted and new tranny mount/crossmember as well. Motor is basically done. I have to finish up my headers, then get them coated (I could dyno the motor without having teh headers coated, and may) @ halfway done with the 25.5 cage install, install interior, run fuel system, and wire it up. 2 more months is a pretty good time frame, and I think the car should be done. I am gonna wait to paint it after I get the car running however, but I am gonna paint the engine compartment before I put the motor in though.

i have a ls7 in my car now had it for 15k, cam only set up with nitrous 3675 race weight (might need a cage soon so add more weight). n/a i do a 5k dump, and i gotta work out the nitrous launch a bit more but i do a ton of city driving, but go to the track and race often. im gonna try and run in a class and was looking in to getting a 2 step.
how would the monster stage 3 work on mine?

It'll clear up as you break it in, don't worry.

I never had a Spec personally, but there's lots of stories around here. Just search. I love my Monster III so far, still not broken in, chatter has gotten alot better after 200 mi. I'm running new, but stock hydraulics, no drill mod needed.

Can't say anything bad about their CS either.

I really really love this Monster level 3 iI have, Im just about in the tens, probably would be if I didnt blow up my 12 bolt... As they say it will find the weakest link.... It did! I 60'd several 1.55's back to back hot lapping, and a 1.54, 1.58. I'd say its a pretty good clutch!!! My Ram powergrip HD lasted like 3 runs....
