What's the latest hotness in LS1 Clutches?

[Momus]

If you don't mind a little spend, a triple plate Tilton carbon carbon 7.25" and matching flywheel is by far the best option.

Even with no sprung hub or marcels they are easy to drive- nothing like a similar sized metallic on off switches...

Jim Berry does do nice work but unless he has developed a good twin plate I would guess that one of his single plates would disappoint. That was my experience anyway with a big torque 420whp turbo engine. Ended up with a twin plate Exedy which is nicer to use and does not slip.

Yours will be a z grip.. X grip don't shudder and don't need to be ridden.. And they won't hold 400rwkw..

Z grip will hold 450rwkw in a ve and run 10s no problem

That actually makes a lot of sense, no other Xgrip I've driven feels like mine. I bought it direct from Textralia though? Not to worry, insert Z where I sad X in my posts above...

X grip is a full organic face on 1 side, z grip is a 4 or 5 paddle button style

Thanks Dale, I'll ask Pete in the next couple of days when he receives mine for a rebuild.

If I had the dollars I would go for the Katech LS9 setup

OK, just spoke to Pete, confirmed mine is a Z so ten points to Dale for diagnosing it over the net.

Promised less shudder with new ancillaries so we will see when it goes back in.

dale, what would you say is the limit of the ls7 clutch?

and have you had a play with any of the ls9 twin plates?

The new z is good..

Ls7 good for 350rwkw normally aspirated, 330 boosted..
Z grip have had 450rwkw and 10s in full weight ve, x had 380rwkw

Never seen a ls9 clutch yet..

OK...so I haven't had a chance to call Textralia yet (I'm on nights atm)...what sort of $$$ am I looking at for the Z grip setup?

[10sec rx7]

usually do them for $2100 fitted with braided line etc.. i think they are about $1500 supply only

Cheers...seems to be the way to go me thinks.
