Curious about the total weight as well as flywheel options.

Same here.

And if a lightweight flywheel will be available how light will it be?
That seems like a tough thing to find for a GTO. (a truly lightweight one that is)

The 12" billet steel option weighs 50lbs completely assembled, the 11" billet steel weighs 45lbs. These are already in the process of being SFI certified and there will be an aluminum option available in 30-60 days, the aluminum option will weigh around 35-40lbs.

Pics are coming as are the quotes from the machine shop.

SFI and pics question was answered previous to this post. Warranty will be the same as all the other Monsters, 12 months/unlimited mileage.

this is the best part!

Steve said I can't post this up, he is going to post as soon as the machine shop gets back with him. It will answer this question.

Correct! That and it reduces the overall mass which is very important when you are spinning anything over 7k rpm.

Do you happen to know how much the stock GTO setup weighs?

Thanks.

Great job guys!
It was a long road getting this thing finished but it's going to be one hell of a clutch and there isnt another one like it on the market.
I can attest, this clutch is one tricked out piece of hardware!

Thanks
Chris

Your LS1 can say 6,600 RPM clutch dump and a Monster double disc can say 6,600 RPM clutch dump. However, I'm not sure what your rear, tires, driveline and T56 will have to say about it!

Pics will come the day we start selling them to keep "the others" from copying our products.

Right now Steve is on the machine shops *** about pricing and timeline, so far we're looking at full production in ~20 days and the prices are on par that are posted in the first post.

If anyone has any questions on these call us at 817-750-2000!

You're freaking killing us!

BTW, I assume since you're holding off because of copiers you are having the clutch setup patented. How much does it cost for a patent?

hows the pedal feel with the ceramic 12 inch? I would love a twin disc, but I don't really enjoy the extra stock feel like the mcleod's have

I can't wait!!!! Any deals for the first production run of these??? i'm sure these will sellout quick!!! I was about to order a stage 3 from one of your distributors tomorrow but I just saw this and I will definitely spend a lil extra for a monster twin...

Are those prices with/without flywheel, slave, bearing????
