Default New Monster Clutch

I finally pulled the trigger on a new Monster Stage II single disc assembly with the lightened billet steel 18# flywheel for my 03 Z. I hope the lighter flywheel is worth the up-charge and the clutch is as good as they say. I toyed with an LS-7 set-up but finally decided to go with the Monster clutch. Opinions good or bad guys; my car is at 435 whp so I am hoping this will handle it well.

Thanks

Installed a monster level 2 a few months ago. I'm at around 425 whp, no issues so far. Didn't really feel a big change with the lightweight flywheel, good or bad. No issues with the car stalling, but can't really tell it revs faster in neutral or etc. Clutch bites a bit more aggressively than the LS6 stocker which took a day or two to adjust to.

Thanks for the feedback; I talked to the rep for Monster last week he indicated that I could expect a small amount of extra pedal effort with more grip so what you said is about how he described it.
