First C7 clutch in a C6!

[Steve@SNL/Monster Clutch]

Will be installing one in a Gen 5 camaro next week...

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 - 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 - 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 - 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. 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.

Great workk guys!
The Gen5 clutch package should be a great clutch kit. Looking forward to info on it.

[Steve@SNL/Monster Clutch]

Lightweight flywheel option now available. We were able to remove 4lbs from the outer edge, dramatically reducing the MOI.

so why choose a c7 flywheel? I don't get it? (please dont take offense i have no idea literally)

This is not a C7 flywheel as it is a heavy dual mass unit, this is our custom design.

Here is a list of the basic benefits of this setup when compared to others. There really is no comparison.

• Longer life than any other twin
• Improved SAC setup allowing longer life and easier pedal effort
• Built in pedal stop to eliminate high rpm shifting issues
• "T" rivets to limit floater plate travel further reducing any high rpm shift issues
• Incredibly light pedal effort
• Higher plate load and more surface area than the V6 pressure plate used by another twin disc manufacturer
• Reduced MOI compared to single disc units
• Cost effective lightweight option with dramatically reduced MOI when compared to other twins on the market - overall weight is not what is important, it is where that weight is!

This is to name a few, if you want me to go into further detail give us a call.

Man that's great! Can you PM a price on the LT-1 package for my SS?

[Steve@SNL/Monster Clutch]

PM sent, thanks for all the orders!

[TrekGTO]

This thread is remarkably similar to one on GTO Forum LOL. Better pictures here, I'm considering this C7 setup for my GTO, I like the stock feel.

[Steve@SNL/Monster Clutch]

Yeah, we just got installing one in a GTO last week as well. Let us know when you're ready

What material is the clutch made of? Is it the stock c7 clutch with a modded flywheel?

The LT1-S (650 rwhp)is a factory C7 setup with our conversion flywheel. The LT1-SC (1000 rwhp) utilizes our button ceramic discs that fit into a factory clutch assembly with our modded flywheel. The LT1-R (1150 rwhp) uses the same but our sintered iron fricitons.

We sell the flywheel separate for those that have the ability to get GM parts cheaper.

Steve, when my RXT gives out, and it may sooner than later due to your custom twin turbo you guys are doing in Jan, what do you recommend for 1100rwhp? You already know what i use the car for.

You'll have a couple of choices, you can run the LT1-R or our triple disc, either of which will handle what we build you.

[Steve@SNL/Monster Clutch]

I appreciate all the orders guys. We sent out quite a few of these last week and added a couple more to the group today!
