First C7 clutch in a C6!
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps8ca37058.jpg
Will be installing one in a Gen 5 camaro next week and of course they work in a C5... The 6 bolt LT1 conversion flywheels are done. We put one in a C6 and, as you would imagine, the clutch feels just like stock and holds great! We'll offer these in three packages - LT1-S - $1,099.99 - Street setup using factory GM discs and our Monster Clutch conversion flywheel. This setup will hold 650 rwhp/rwtq and obviously have factory drivability. There is some very slight gear rollover noise due to the lack of dampened hubs on the disc, upon installation in the test C6 the noise was so minimal we didn't feel the need to change these discs as the torque tube on those cars transmit more noise than any other GM vehicle. LT1-SC - $1,399.99 - Street/Competition setup uses our dampened ceramic button discs and our Monster Clutch conversion flywheel, the pressure plate and setup on the clutch retains factory components to maintain factory drivability with a more aggressive friction. This setup will hold 1000rwhp/rwtq. LT1-R - $1,599.99 - Race setup designed for all out performance. It utilizes our sintered iron material and our Monster Clutch conversion flywheel which makes this clutch a stout piece that still keeps factory pedal effort and plate load. This setup will hold 1150 rwhp/rwtq. If you want to pick up your own clutch from a local GM dealership and just buy the flywheel from us it's going to be $599.99. Each package will contain the GM clutch assembly w/ factory or modified discs (depending on which one you choose), pilot bearing, release bearing (we're applicable), and conversion flywheel. Slave cylinders will be additional. There are some great features on the LT1 clutches that have really caught our attention. Having a built in pedal stop to keep high rpm pressure plate "float" at bay, nodular iron castings, and a great plate load to bearing load ratio makes this a nice factory clutch! Of course we're not fans of the self adjusting pressure plate, but, they've made some changes to the internals on these that vastly improve the design from the past ones. That said, this is the absolute smoothest twin for your 6 bolt setups, you cannot go wrong. When we removed/eliminated the dual mass setup from the C7 we were able to reduce the overall weight by 15lbs! The setup now comes in at 53.5 lbs with a billet steel flywheel. If we get enough guys asking about a lighter setup we will offer one, however, the MOI on this is lower than a LS7 so even though the overall weight is pretty close the overall "feel" of the unit is that of a lighter clutch. |
hmmmmm....this looks interesting. I'm looking to replace my RPS carbon street twin lite, it's to light causing drive ability issue's & pedal pressure isn't friendly to others.

The setup now comes in at 53.5 lbs with a billet steel flywheel The weight is perfect for what I'm looking for. These statements are confusing, this is a dual disc correct? You removed/eliminated the dual mass? |
Whats special about the C7 clutch?

This is to name a few, if you want me to go into further detail give us a call. :) |
Lightweight flywheel option now available. We were able to remove 4lbs from the outer edge, dramatically reducing the MOI...it is a $50 upgrade

This looks like a very good option...I'm a big fan of the Luk clutches.
My buddy had a bad day at MIR yesterday with a clutch failure of a big name twin disk manufacturer. From my observations nothing has the reliability of stock. Keep us posted with some track results.:thumbs: |

Can I get an update on your latest impressions? Looking for a very daily drivable clutch setup for my c5z. I live in LA so a lot of stop and go

I just installed this clutch kit in my H/C/I C5Z. This is a great setup and feels just a tad heavier than stock (hardly worth mentioning). Be sure to replace ALL of you hydraulics and add a remote bleeder!
Message me if you have any additional questions. :rock: |

Sounds interesting. What clutch/flywheel would you recommend for a 95% street driven c6z with hopefully 1-2 trips to the drags every season. Car makes 580rwhp and 525ftlbs. Do you offer any complete packages with the hydrolics etc?
Thanks |

Is the clutch/pressure plate rebuildable? Is there any way to offer a flywheel that has a replaceable friction insert?
|
Which parts do i need when i want to upgrade my 08 C6 LS3 to a C7 Clutch Kit? Does it feel better than stock LS3/LS7 clutch?
Thanks alot |
