Stroud. I got it through Joe. Talk to him first to get the design particulars. I got the mounts from stroud too, but after seeing them I think I could have fabbed something as good or better for a fraction of the cost. But this being my first install I thought I better to see the official junk.

got some updates...

so far I've been running a pretty much stock LQ4 6L with a street cam and forged pistons. It is putting out about 500hp (dyno tested).
This winter i scored some cnc ported heads and some T&D style valve train (sold under Comp Cams brand). Add in hi-output coils and a Quick Fuel carb.  My engine builder thinks i could see somewhere around 600+hp with this junk.
 
 The clutch i used up till now was a center force single disc but after the last meet i noticed it is not holding even with the 500 so i will need something stronger.

I want to go with a multidisc but don't know much about them. Ram has a setup that includes an aluminum flywheel for $1300. None of the manufactures go into much detail about power/torque capabilities except Ram dose state 950lb/ft torque. I will be safe with that ... unless i spray it.

Please feel free to add any ideas here.

Thanks
Fred

We use a 7.25" triple disc QuarterMaster... has held 1000hp without issue. Not "cheap"
but you can get one used through Muscle Motorsports in Huntersville, NC for cheaper.
They take good pressure plate and intermediary plates and add new discs.

Try PowerTrain Technology for multi-disc clutch and flywheel assemblies.    Also not cheap, but, they have more friction material (and other) choices than Q'Master.

Steve Fox is the owner of PT Tech, and can fix you up with any sort of custom application.

And BTW, Steve was formerly @ Q'M and the designer of all the trick Q'M clutch bits . . . . .

Due to life changes The Monza is going to be sold 

Here is a link to some pictures

This car ran consistent 180s and is very stable. And, i might point out, it is the only car to ever run an exact 180.000 mph ... as far as i know! LOL... The front suspension has been modified and the chassis is lowered. right now it rides about 1 inch off the ground but that can be adjusted. There are too many mods to mention but i can tell you it is ready to go and will meet certification for speeds over 200 with a little updating of and inspections. The engine used is the LS family and at the moment we were using an LQ4 making right at 500hp. It is a good strong motor but is disassembled right now and i have parts to up the horsepower that include new heads and fuel system.   It currently holds the record in C/CGC, is a smart looking ride with recent paint and new air dam and I have at least 15G invested so you cant go wrong!

We are asking 7 for the chassis and 5 for the engine.  You can text Jenifer Jones for more details @ 864 680 4273
Ask Joe or Keith what they think of it.
