Monster Clutch Twin Discs-Released! Hello all,
FINALLY!!!! We are very proud to announce our twin disc lineup for the GM LSx based platforms!
Our new billet aluminum twin discs are designed, tested, built, and assemebled here in house to the strictist tolerances to ensure you guys are getting your monies worth. We're so confident in our new twins that we put a TWO YEAR warranty on these units, that's yet another industry first! With the ability to hold from 700hp to 1500 and beyond we're confident we've got a twin for you. Every part of the clutch is made in the United States of America, absolutely nothing on these units are brought in from overseas. We feel these are the best twin disc units on the market, bar none. Not only do these have excellent street manners they can take a severe beating as well.
At two plus years in the making we're not screwing around. These things have to be an improvement upon our already incredibly popular singles and push the envelope of the twin disc market beyond what most of you are used to. You won't find any stamped steel import pressure plates stacked on top of two discs, you're not going to find any sub par parts inside, all you're getting is American made quality that will handle the rigors of daily driving and track abuse.
Below are some key elements to our twins -
•One piece billet aluminum covers
•4140 floater and pressure plates
•Progressive rate diaphragm springs (Very important! We don't use "break over" type springs on our twins, this means you have a steady pedal pressure and ZERO high rpm shifting issues as these have been tested to 10,000 rpm)
•Organic with marcel spring and Ceramic Matrix Frictions
•Billet Steel flywheels with two weight options (28# for the masses and 18# for the crazy road racing/autocross guys that are looking for the lowest MOI possible)
•Fully rebuildable (Rebuilding your clutch also resets your 2 year warranty!)
•An actual stable feeling clutch pedal (Gone are the days of the puny clutch pedal that has no feedback and gets limp when you're using and abusing it, our diaphragms give steady pressure every time)
•Balanced from us as an assembly
•Tested and proven at rated hp/tq, no gimics or bs
We are currently taking orders for these clutches with expected ship times (depending on sales volume) 1-3 weeks from your time of purchase. We'll be doing all we can to get these out in a timely manner, however, please understand that a lot of folks have waited two years for us to release these, there will be a bit of a delay initially. To make up for this, we're releasing these during our sale that is taking place to help you guys get $100 off and free shipping! You must call to order these, any of our dealers or distributors can get you taken care of as well.
Below is the three flavors these come in, pricing is basic packages with the standard weight flywheels - any questions just let us know!
•Level 1 Twin Disc (700hp/tq) - $1199 shipped!
•Level 2 Twin Disc (1000hp/tq) - $1399 shipped!
•Level 3 Twin Disc (1500hp/tq) - $1599 shipped!
I'd like to thank everyone that has been a supporter of Monster Clutch, and all that have patiently waited for this day to come. We sincerely believe you will NOT be disappointed. Pictures of the units will be posted as soon as the web guy and photographer are done with the photo shoots for the site. If anyone has any questions please feel free to give me a call.

Very cool. I haven't finished the breakin period of the stage 2 I put in my 89, so I haven't really made any conclusions about it but you guys have a good reputation around here. I've been interested in twin disk clutches and it's good to see you guys offering one.

I can't wait to get one of these beasts in my Corvette and start spraying on it! My Level 3 is holding up amazingly well to the 6000+rpm launches and nearly 600rwhp I've been giving it and I am going to run it till it I wear it out. But once it goes you better believe one of these twins will be behind my motor!

I have to ask the dumb questions... What is the benefit in going with a twin disk? I have a stage 3 monster now, I see the specs show the twin have a much higher tq rating but other than that and the obvious change in parts, what is the difference? Do they "feel" any different? Perform any different? Educate me a little

You usually get increased drivability and a lighter pedal effort. The primary benefit to a twin is awesome power holding with drivability that is equal to or better that it's single disk material counterpart. IE ceramic puck single to a ceramic puck twin.
I was talking to Steve yesterday and he said they use a constant rate spring rather than one that is hard then really soft. So the pedal will require constant pressure the entire way through the throw of the pedal. Plus you cannot beat the 2 year warranty and the warranty after rebuild. I think he also said that it is a 8.5" disk and the entire system with the 28lb flywheel is about 44lbs. He also mentions that using the 18lb flywheel was insane on the response but a fair bit difficult on the street. He recommended the 18lb for road course and autox use only due to the low MOI of the smaller diameter disks and pressure plate. I ordered mine yesterday and will update with pics once it is installed, breaking in and broken in. I got the Level one with organic disks. In addition, he said that one disk is sprung and the other is not. Since they engage at slightly different spots in the pedal throw you get the lighter disk and the smoother engagement of the sprung hub. Sounds like a nice piece to me.
Oh and Steve was great to talk to despite them having already closed and it being 7:30pm. Steve, don't get mad at me for letting a little of the cat out of the bag. Less questions for you to answer when people call perhaps? :-)

8.5" to keep MOI at a minimum. Full weight for the standard kit is 44lbs, lightweight kit is 34lbs.
As Steve stated, you can preorder these twin disc clutches from distributors.
Here is our link:
http://www.coloradospeed.com/index.p...LSTDL&x=6&y=10
During checkout, it will automatically deduct $100 and with each order, we'll throw in a free Monster Clutch t-shirt. Just note what size you want in the COMMENT section during check out.
Any of our dealers/distributors or us can get you taken care of!
I'm excited as well Ray, a lot of your feedback was used in the development of this setup!
As someone already pointed out, yes. The main difference is you can do it yourself without having to send the unit back to us. We can send you a rebuild kit and you or your installer can do it when they pull the clutch out of the car. No need for excessive down time.

Indeed.
