Default which monster?

I'm going to be ordering a clutch in the next month or so. I like what I've read/heard about Monster's clutches so that's who I'm going with. Just trying to decide if I should get the 2.5 or the 3.5.

When I get it done, I also will be having a TSP 233/239 .595/.603 Cam in with supporting mods. I think the 3.5 would be more than I really need, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't take this car to the track (sadly nothing is near me) and I don't street race. I do like to get on it every now and then when no one's around on back country roads though.

What do people think? I need to order this before the end of December (so I've got some time). Right now I've got my wife convinced to let me spend most of my deployment $$$ on the car so need to order parts before I get back and she changes her mind.

Anyone? I know I can PM some of the sponsors directly, but I figure others may not mind a little extra info helping them pick a clutch in the future too....

I'd do the 3+.With the same drivability it's good to overclutch the car.

Thanks for the input. Definitely going to go with the 3.5 then... not too much more than the 2.5 anyway.

The 3.5 also gets my vote. It will not be too much clutch for now, and it will take a beating.
