Took the Diamond out and put a Monster 2 in, the Monster 2 seems to be the ****.

Haven't beaten on it hard yet, but I have a little.

Won't say the reason for the change other than Diamond took care of me.

I will find out when it goes to Road Atlanta on March 3-4, it get beaten up then.

The Monster had a made in USA sticker on the box, but that doesnt mean anything. I am sure the "majority" of the Monster is made here.

I do like the Monster clutch, no bad things to say about the Diamond the customer service was stellar. No idea where the Diamond is made.

I have a weak left leg due to sciatic nerve problem, the Monster is very smooth.

We will see how it does when I beat it up at Road Atlanta.

What flywheel did you end up going with? or did you just reuse the one you had? I'm trying to figure out the best clutch for road racing. I currently have the Monster level 4 with the 28lb flywheel from my old 408. I have to admit the clutch was like butter and held up great. But im not so sure how good it would be for road racing and I definitely would like to move to a lighter flywheel.

I used the billet steel flywheel, it's a street car.

A buddy has a Spec3 with light wheel in his road race Camaro, 450rwhp, 3300 lbs and has been flawless. The Monster3 looks the same as the Spec3.

Just an FYI, there's a reason the Made in the USA sticker is on the box. The only parts of a clutch kit we send out that are not made here is bearings, slaves, and alignment tools.

Enjoy that clutch!
