Lvl 5 Monster in motion
Well FINALY got to the track in LA.
First pass
2.1 60 foot and I wasnt even remotly trying to launch -
13.7 @ 83 mph
Monster likes to say that you are gonna start finding weak spots with the Level 5 =)
Blew the rear out on the 2-3 shift first pass - 150,000 + miles on the stock rear - People who know, know that I beat this car and the first time I even slightly opened it up on the monster I blew the carrier out of the rear.
AS SOON AS the 9 inch goes in I am going to the first open track day to see what is gonna break next.
----------------
Side note, had to make a slight adjustment to the master as the pedal engagment point has changed ( very slightly ) Other than that - Love the clutch so far. Still trying to tune the car on the very low end as all the drive train resistance I am getting is causing me to bog - too much tire not enough gear

Subscribing.
Im leaning toward Monster and all the service Steve puts up here. Hurry and let us know.
What made you go with stage 5? Im trying to figure out what stage to go with myself.

I found a weak spot within the first 10 miles of driving on my monster, my motor mounts are shot beyond belief. Never knew before but you sure can tell now. I'm curious about the level V since I am planning a much, much bigger motor a few months down the road. Keep us posted!

I have the L5 and the Tick master.Shifting has never been so easy.Set the rpm over on about 6200...side step the clutch and never let out of the gas while shifting.I never felt a T56 shift like butta...it's feels like a T5 and everybody knows they shift easy.
Damn glad you are happy with your setup!
Well,what type of power are you making (and what are your intended purpose's for teh car)? Let us know, and I will let you know what setup would be up your alley. Also, Monster's clutches are on sale until the end of July, you can check out my link below for pricing!
Ok, revival time.
Had some issues with the clutch needing slight pedal adjustments- over the last 7 months the car has been on the road maybe 14 days.
The car is still streeted now that everything is ok, but Its babbied grandma style. There are no opportinuites to open it up on the street so I dont even try.
Replacement stock rear end broke under normal driving conditions. Car sat
9 Inch went in finally Last month: Broke the new driveshaft first pass out.
1350 yoke blah blah beef master Driveshaft,
Took it back to the track got 3 shake down passes in, rolling it out and short shifting it harder slightly each time Clutch is BUTTERY smooth after the 2nd pass down the track feels like a twin disc, love it. 4th pass burn out time to clean the tires and the clutch is slippin at 5000+rpm, drop out of it and pull it up to the lights and the clutch is beyond chattering with even the slightest engagement.
Tow it back to the pits, SLIGHT pedal adjustment, change clutch fluid for ***** and bleed it- Clutch feels broken, can't get the car rolling without major concern. Decide to drop the clutch and make the car go under its own power. Complains a lot- shift to 2nd, feels even worse. Stop the car and get ready to repeat cycle one more time. Works fine... Drive it around and dont feel good about it, Chatters a lot more than it did before, drive it home 15 miles threw freeway construction traffic. Chatters 2x worse than it ever did.
Havent had a chance to call up and talk to them yet. I will later today. I'll probably pull the trans and clutch in the next week.
I just cant keep this car on the road.

Yes, please do. I believe your Level 5 is the highest Level that we will have some test info on(on the board here anyways). We have alot of teh I through IV info, but no V and up, and since I have teh VI, be nice to hear some first hand info on something pretty close to what I have.

Just spoke with monster. We are gonna question the adjustment of the hydraulic , they said the pedal should be sitting slightly below the brake pedal , so I will check the pedal height and return here.
