McLeod or monster?
There isn't a McLeod twin that will hold what a R will hold... you're comparing apples to oranges. The RXT is more along the lines of a SC, the R you're referencing has gone mid-8's in the quarter and still drives very nicely.

Ls1/tko 600/3.73 gears/drag radials/3000 total miles.
460hp on the chassis dyno
i wasn't talking about the rst or rxt . I am looking at the original street twin as the call it in there website with an advertised 1200hp rating. Yes I will drag race, probably about 5 times a year on a prepped Track the rest will be street racing/ rod runs where traction is a major problem

Premature wear is pretty simple to diagnose, it's usually one of the following -
- Install/setup error
- Mechanical error
- Pressure plate setup error
- Hydraulic issue

Yes, the Tick setup is absolutely fine for our LT1-xx series setups, they employ an internal pedal stop that will keep you from damaging the clutch.
Steve,
I'll be hitting you up about an LT1-S here before too long... After the success I had with the Camaro and the Monster 2, let alone the customer service, there's no other clutch company out there for me.

Also thanks for the input on my question everyone! I was just curious because it seems like the ls1tech community is becoming pretty loyal to Monster.
That still isn't as much as ours, we rate our clutches to the tires, they rate them to the crank...

You can't tell with images, it's something mechanical. If you want to send it to me I'll test the lift/release of the pressure plate to make sure it's healthy, if it is then it's in the hydraulics, etc.

I don't understand why its so easy to blame the installer. Its kind of a cheap shot to say we are all incapable of installing a clutch. All my components are new and its not a complicated system. The system works flawlessly. You can't say my car scoots down the track like it does, shifts flawlessly, and not a single sign of an issue for 3000 miles and say something is amiss with my set-up. The clutch components even look perfect. How many used clutches do you see on swap meet pages with interesting blue and colored designs on the plate surfaces...alot. Mine does not show signs of slippage.
I would like to see some proof to show a level 3 can last 35K miles the way exercise the vehicle with the power that I have.
It's funny as you say, can't tell by images but was so able with the few post above?
Sorry for the rant, but I kind of take it personally to say I don't know what I'm doing while not even considering the material on the disc is "premature" not due to my own faulty system.
Sorry for the shameless plug gents but if anyone is interested in a Monster 11" Ceramic Clutch I have one for sale. I have a price but its OBO (reasonable obo);

Sadly I wont be needing a clutch of this caliber or HP for a while. Seems I will be moving out of state so during the transition I want to keep the swap as reliable as possible so it will be mostly stock and NA. Turbo will be coming down the road.
Proceed with thread....sorry again.

I hate to hear this, good luck with the sell!
My buddy has a stage 3 actually his 2nd one now. The clutch was great and held his bolt on power as it easily should have. The car was a DD but a "fun" DD so it got exercise he pulled it out at 35k for a cam swap and the disk was done, didnt slip but it had no life left on it. I dont see how some people claim 60k out of them with cammed setups.

When people ask me how long the clutch will last I ask them how often they replace rear tires... that'll give you a pretty damn good estimate. LOL
