Ls7 Clutch guys
I installed the ls7 clutch kit last Sunday. Everything feels good. My question is with the ls2/ls7 flywheel being heavier than my stock ls1 flywheel is my rev time slower.
I.e when i hit it, it seems like it takes longer to get higher in the RPMS now.
Is it my imagination? or is it actually slower since it is heavier and harder to rotate ?
Thanks guys.

It is heavier but it's not a issue at all. Everyone buying lighter flywheels are wasting extra money if you ask me. I picked up a couple tenths in the quarter after my clutch swap to a LS7, so if the weight mattered I wouldn't have picked up E.T. & no my stock clutch wasn't worn out I just wanted to upgrade.

It will rev a tiny bit slower but not enough to matter. Plus the extra weight makes higher RPM shifting smoother. The extra weight helps keep the assembly spinning which translates to less RPM loss between high RPM shitfs. I use to really have a problem getting my car into 3rd at high RPM's till I did this clutch swap. Could have been the slave being old also. But it's definetly better up top as far as smooth shifting.

I went from a SPEC 3 with aluminum flywheel to the LS7 and I noticed quite a difference in rev time while in neutral. However while driving, I dont notice any ill effects. The car seems to move out just as good as before.
Plus, taking off from a stop is 10000 times easier. And it does in fact drive nicer due to the rpms not diving as quick between shifts. Mods in my sig and it holds perfect.
