Default Monster Stage 3 or Monster Street Twin?

I'm looking for opinions on which clutch to buy.

Monster Stage 3 or the Monster Street series Twin Disc. I am not stuck on Monster so if you prefer another let me know, but they seem pretty popular right now. I am looking for a streetable clutch that will hold up to the abuse of some track days and some outlaw type racing in "Mexico'' as well. I know the Twin is supposed to be more streetable, but is it worth the extra money? Will it last longer? I don't care if it's a little hard to drive,

I need to update my sig, but on top of what my signature says, these are my up to date mods.

226cc AI ported 243 Heads w/ BTR springs etc.
Custom Cam by Martin
36lb Fast Injectors
I haven't had it tuned yet

Hoping for around 440whp....stock bolt w/ bolt-ons was 362/370.

The LT1-S will drive like stock and have a longer life than any aftermarket twin, or single disc clutch. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Do you recommend using the OEM master cylinder and not an adjustable? I have read that on certain vendor's pages.

Either will work with a our single discs or street twins. However keep in mind that a larger bore master will increase pedal effort, and shrink the engagement window of any clutch.

Our race series twin, is the only style unit that we offer that can not be used with an after market master.
