I was just going through some ZR1 data and noticed that a design criteria for the twin disc clutch was to not exceed the pedal effort of the LS7 Z06 clutch. They were satisfied that they reached that goal with the ZR1 clutch and also gained additional clamp load along with better pedal feel.

You know M, what would help out is if GM would put a pkg. together with a flywheel and the ZR1 clutch that would bolt on all the other LS cranks. They could drive the conversion cost way down by fabricating such a flywheel. The stock SSR slave will work just perfectly, so you could do it much cheaper than I did, if that flywheel was available.

Anne, I bet I know where I could find you at the dragstrip - downwind from the burnout box?!

That goes without sayin, Anne! I smell a lot of rotting horseflesh, when we get those Southern winds!

And thanks for the bump. As soon as I started reading, I do recall seeing it before, but never came back for the conclusion.

Not sure when I'll be doing the clutch on mine, but I think this will be the way I go. To summarize, the stock slave cylinder will work, but we'll need the custom flywheel and LS9 clutch/pressure plate?

Yep, the stock slave will work, but unless you're planning to reuse your original, the ZR1 slave is identical other than it has provisions for an remote bleeder. I think the ZR1 slave is also cheaper and the SSR wasn't even available when I did my install.
