I would go with the monster they are having a sell till the end of the year, 100 bucks off, and they will draw a name once a week from the list of buyers and that winner will get his purchase refunded. but beware my name is in the list I am buying one this coming week.
Their reputation is flawless.

Both very good clutches, Monster 3 here my choice was between the 3 and the oz700. In the end I chose monster to give em a chance and because they are made in the usa.
I am 100% pleased with it and it will take a beating!
The monsters are really well priced for what you get already, if they're on discount i'd grab one again in a heartbeat over a tex.

I had the same choice to make last year, after being on the fence for months I finally decided to go with Tex. thinking it was the tested and true between the two options. Plus my big seller was that Tex. has good customer service.
Well let me tell you, my Tex. has been a complete failure and won't work properly no matter what I do, and this great customer service that Textralia is known for is NOWHERE to be found. Do yourself a favor and go with Monster I'm kicking myself in the *** now everytime I try to bang through the gears and the clutch screws up.

I have a monster level 3, tick master and new slave. It has a little chatter during break in and I was told it would go away. The customer service is great. Steve called me at work to answer my questions. It comes with everything you need, including the pilot bearing, not sure if they normally come with this.

You will NOT come close to beating Steve@Monster in customer service. Period.
I have a level 6 and it takes ANYthing i have thrown at it, seen around 15-20 6800ish dumps already and is goin strong! I went with the light weight flywheel as well. Can't beat their sell right now, and like said made in the USA.

I had a Tex OZ700 for about 4 years after a bad SPEC experience. It is a great street clutch, light pedal, easy to slip and drive smoothly, yet holds pretty well. Before I started spraying I never had an issue with it, held 6k dumps on slicks no problem. Once I started spraying 2 seasons ago it started to slip every so often in 4th, and late this year had problems in 2nd and 3rd too. So I don't know about the 700 lb*ft rating.
Just bought a Monster 3 with a Tick (there's a special going on right now) a week ago. We'll see how it holds up come next year, alot of good feedback thus far. But everyone loved the Tex about 3 years ago too.

I had 23K on my level 3 before we swapped it out for a level 6 Monster. These clutches have been great so far, and held everything that I have thrown at them. The level 6 is even easier to drive than the 3 was, and I have a couple of thousand miles on it already. And, again, you can't beat their customer service.
