Talking monster clutch!!!

Well after the ram hd took a dump i figured i would try my first clutch install on jack stands all by myself! ....and ordered the stage 2 monster and lightweight flywheel. As soon as i got it i noticed the good packaging with the monster clutches tape!! Opened the boxes and seen the bright green monster. Its a shame u cant see it after its in..lol. after the install i crossed my fingers and turned the key.....no loud noises. Pushed in the clutch pedal and put it in gear. As soon as i was releasing the pedal it grabbed so hard i shot forward and stalled out. I hadnt even bleeed the hydros yet. So everything went good and i am loving this clutch. With the tick master and this clutch it grabs so fast and wants to MOVE!!! IM EVEN SPORTN THE GREENED EYED MONSTER STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD!! Anyone wanting a bada$$ clutch go MONSTER!!

How would you compare the pedal pressure to the stock clutch?

With the ram setup my calf was sore from driving.....with the monster and the tick master it feels like a factory clutch. Maybe just alittle bit stiffer but nothing like the ram. And this monster grabs as soon as i start to ease up on the clutch. I had the ls6 clutch in my 99 ta and it feels almost the exact same. I have the stage 2. Prob should have went with the 3 but i havent hit the 500 mile break in to actually do a nice dig. 300 more miles to go!!!

I bought the level 2 also. I hope I like it as much as you do. I really want close to a stock feel with this car because I drive it so much.
Where in north Florida are you?
