If you are looking for a better clutch for your CTS V?  Look no further. The Z06 LS7 style clutch is the way to go. You get a clutch that can hold the extra power that you have given your CTS V and a very nice pedal that is easy to push. The number one advantage of this clutch is you will remove close to 28 lbs from the rotating mass. What this means is 30+ more  horsepower and better acceleration. We have written a little information article for you to read on the installation of this clutch so that you might get some insight into how we give you that extra power. The picture below is at stock CTS V clutch setup. As you can see this one is in bad shape. This is what happens when the holding power of the clutch is not matched for the performance upgrade. On this CTS V it has our RXx-2 performance upgrade with a Magna Charger blower system on it. Just a bit to much power for the stock clutch. If you look closely you can see just how big and bulky the duel mass flywheel is. All this weight means loss of horsepower.

 

We are going to get rid of this very heavy clutch set up and give this CTS V what is needs. A new Z06 LS7 style clutch set up. The advantage besides reducing weight will be faster acceleration and very positive engagement. As you can see from the picture below the flywheel is not very bulky and clutch disc is more performance oriented. This means more horsepower to the road where it counts.

 

Now installation of this clutch is very neat. We do not do any transmission cutting or anything else that will change how the operation of the clutch from the way you are used to it now is. The only thing you will notice is a little firmer pedal. Will feel the way the Z06 C6 clutch is today. Very smooth engagement with very little effort. You will get faster shifts with less effort. You can see from the next picture how clean it looks installed were the old clutch used to be.

 

You might not be able to see it but this clutch assembly is closer to the engine. The old clutch flywheel is so big that the pressure plate and disc are closer to the transmission than the engine. By moving the clutch closer to the engine we shift rotating weight. This means less vibration which can damage internal bearings and we are able to get higher RPM's safely. In turn more power. This also means that the original slave cylinder and throw out bearing will need to be longer to takes up the excess room. Most companies will just shim the slave cylinder. Not us we use a new slave cylinder and bearing that take up the added clearance for perfect clutch operation. The picture below shows you what I am talking about.

 

You can see that the slave cylinder and bearing are in the same stock location without any case modifications or shimming. You are able to reach the clutch bleeder very easy as well as the clutch line. This makes for a very factory look. The kind we like. Once installed we recommend a 500 mile break in period to make sure all components of the clutch have mated properly. After that you are ready to race. This clutch will give you many years of hassle free operation while providing you with more power. This set up is not just for the performance of mind. If you have a stock CTS V and want more power and better acceleration without any engine modifications? This is the way to go. You can keep your CTS V stock and under warranty but with more power than a original one.
