I'm still running the OE clutch in my '07 V at 56K miles and it's functioning just fine for now - but I've been looking. Is anyone running the KaTech LS9x?
From KaTech's website:
-For 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V
-Twin disk clutch
-Clutch disks and pressure plate from the ZR1
-Aluminum flywheel with 6 bolt pattern for standard LS engines
-Includes flywheel bolts
-Includes pressure plate bolts
-8lbs lighter than the stock Z06 clutch/flywheel assembly
-Flywheel weighs 12.0lbs.
-Drives like a stock ZR1 - stock pedal feel
-Proven to 700rwhp (drag racing) 800rwhp (street)
-800+ ft-lbs torque capacity
-No neutral noise or chattering
-All of the benefits of a twin disk clutch and none of the trade-offs
Bad news - it's damn pricey at $1299. I see some of the potential advantages vs. the LS7, but I could buy 2 LS7s from Lindsey for $1299!! Plus I'm only pulling about 410 rwhp, so I'm not sure I need anything heartier than the LS7 in any event - although I see a Maggie in my near future.
Any thoughts?
