Clutch kit. Hi !
I'm going to replace my clutch during the cold winter here in Sweden.
I need some tips/recomendations about a good clutch kit.
I have approx 400 hp.
Best regards

Launching!
I installed a monster level 2 this past spring and I'm happy with it...i track (lapping) and autox the car and drive it on the street as well. I'm pretty sure i'm close to stock HP...
the monster 2 clutch is well made and has very good "hold" capabilities...when i take my transmission out, we will find out how well it wears
I went with a lightened flywheel (18lbs) and i don't know if it was the right move. There is a slight increase in acceleration however there is slightly more vibration in the car as the weight of the flywheel can't absorb as much vibration as the stock flywheel (28.8lbs)...accelerating from stop also requires practice as the revs must be higher when taking off. This gets easier with practice and clutch break-in
I looked into spec 2 and 3...good clutch but you may have to shim the slave cylinder which means that measurements may need to be taken to determine what width of shim to use...this not the case for the monster clutch.
If you compete (track, drag, autox)...I recommend the monster. if you only drive on the street, alot of folks love the LS7 setup.
While you are in there, install a bleeder line for your slave cylinder...relative to the clutch, its not expensive and you will be able to bleed your clutch by yourself.
