SNL Performance and Monster Clutch have the same owner, AFAIK. IIRC, 2014-2016 SNL employees, including the owner spent, way more time than would be reasonable for me to expect helping me by phone, email, and posts on this forum. Their assistance started initially when I was diagnosing a clutch problem. It continued through parts selection; discovery of failed rocker trunion bearing (yuck); and fixing/installing everything. As far as clutch related parts are concerned, I installed a complete Tick/Monster Stage 2 clutch system. Do not drive the car much, and do not drive it hard. However, happy with all the Monster and Tick stuff thus far. SNL/Monster Clutch customer service was ridiculously good.

OP, save yourself and whatever you do, do NOT get a heavy as hell ls7 clutch. A lot of people use them with no problems, but the clutch is terrible for drag racing use and soaks up A LOT of power compared to an actual good performance clutch due to being large and very heavy. I would only recommend an ls7 clutch for pretty much a completely non-performance vehicle.
If you want a clutch that's actually going to raise performance and free up horsepower to the wheels (not steal power and lower performance like a ls7 clutch would do), look into getting a small diameter, dual or triple plate clutch. When searching for a clutch, pay attention to the pressure plate diameter and weight of the complete setup. The less overall weight and smaller the diameter = the more performance.
