Zzeal Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 After researching LS clutches I decided on a GM LS7 pressure plate and disc. Thought I should do business with a company I own. Since this clutch won't fit my '05 GTO flywheel it gave me an excuse to buy an aluminum Fidanza unit, '05 Corvette application. Using a digital bathroom scale I found the stock LS2 pressure plate weighs about 21 lbs.(9.5 kilos), and the flywheel 24 lbs.(10.9) for a total of 45 (20.4) The LS7 pressure plate is 3 lbs. heavier at 24 lbs., but the Fidanza is a skinny 13 lbs.(5.9) which, together at 37 lbs.(16.8), save 8 lbs.(3.6) from stock. Net result: Quicker revs, less weight, lighter wallet. Steve Stock GTO LS2 LS7/Fidanza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I have the LS7 pressure plate and Fidanza aluminum flywheel also. I'd be interested in some comparison videos if you're installing these, as I wont be anytime soon ... What company do you own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Are the LS7 Clutch/Pressure Plate parts available again? My order placed back in June was canceled because GM pushed their delivery dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzeal Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 MoNkEyT88- I'm in your boat, way out from completion. Mine's on a rotisserie, and will be for a while. I was just making a funny about how all of us taxpayers now own General Motors. Good luck on your build, hope you're done before me! *************** Pete S Luckily, I got this clutch some time ago. I hope GM gets their act together soon, I need some other parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
