Looking to pick up a monster clutch level 3 for the camaro and got a quote from a sponsor on LS1tech, but want to see what the local shops can do for me. Let me know.

Have Josh @ JS Performance put a custom clutch in your car. He'll custom tailor it any way you'd like and it'll certainly be able to take whatever you can throw at it. Couple members here have his set ups and have nothing but good things to say about them, especially for drag racing!
I have one myself and for the price you can't beat it.

Thanks Alex, I talked to josh a few months back about doing one for my car. But with Monster, I get a 1 year no questions asked warranty, which is the selling point for me on the monster clutch.

is wasn't directly from the company who makes them(SNL I believe is their name). There are a few places that sell them online.

How good is a "warranty" when you have to remove the clutch, send it back, and wait for them to send you a new one every time it fails? Why not just put a quality unit in that will be exactly what you need and last for an acceptable duration?
Remember, a clutch disc is a wearable item that is self sacrificing, if it is built with materials that are so hard they do not wear they will either not have the holding power you require or they will eat the flywheel and pressure plate, therefore causing you to have to replace the entire assembly every time you wear out the clutch. Our clutches are designed to be rebuildable so when they do wear out only the disc will need replacing and the pressure plate gets inspected, re-surfaced and adjusted as needed. Which saves you money in the long term.

Thanks everyone for your opinions, but that did answer the question I had asked. Anyway I found out they have a distributor in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Mods please feel free to lock this thread.
