Default Monster Stage 3 installed!

Installed a Monster stage 3 with their light weight flywheel with a Tick Master. Wow already love this clutch. It's the easiest puck clutch I ve ever driven. Had a centerforce Dfx in before and although it held great for 20K it had a heavy pedal and liked to chatter a lot.

The Monster stage 3 pedal pressure is great and very easy to drive. Gonna give it about 20 heat cycles then beat on it. Hopefully get this rig into the 10's before the weather warms up to much here in FL.

I have the same setup as you OP, minus the lightweight flywheel, and I love mine too. It's not a daily, but could be.

Got about 20 heat cycles on this clutch now and let it rip! Wow love this clutch very good street manners for a puck clutch and pedal pressure is still way lower than my old DFX Centerforce. I have yet to get it to chatter or squeal, maybe the 4.30 gears help also.

Already has a kill on a cammed 3v mustang and it was ugly.
