If it's the 28# flywheel is roughly the same as stock, if it's the 18# unit it's roughly 10#'s lighter.

I beat on mine at the track, and the only thing that gave me problems was traction.

I have not been out to the track yet. Im very impressed that its still holding on... even though I really havent been able to put much stress on it. The 315 Nitto 555R's break loose even in 4th when i have the boost spike hard. 1st and second gear are a joke in boost even with the 3.23 gears.

I absolutely love not being locked out of gears like several clutches ive tried, (mainly the Centerforce) wouldnt let me shift 1-2 or 2-3 if i got into boost at all.

Ive been working on a meth / tune issue, so i havent been able to beat on it that hard (only 14lbs of boost instead of 18, lol). Also changing my entire suspension setup here in the next month or so... so that i can actually get some weight transfer. ET streets & 12 bolt are ready to go on also, just waiting for some warm weather & an open track!

Sorry to thread jack here, but I would like to know what stage you got of the monster.

Curious as to what the problem was, was considering aluminum in the future.

Monster doesn't offer an aluminum flywheel anymore. Their LW option is an 18lb billet steel FW.
