Default New KATECH LS9R clutch for G8 GXP

In 2011 we will be doubling our line-up of LS9-based clutches with the LS9R clutch. The LS9R offers the same great drivability and noise free operation as the LS9X, but adds 20% more torque capacity.

We are taking pre-orders now and delivery is expected in January 2011. The price of the LS9R is $100 over the LS9X and there are no other differences besides the increase in torque capacity.

-For Pontiac G8 GXP or G8 GT with manual conversion
-Twin disk clutch
-Enhanced ZR1 clutch disks and pressure plate
-Aluminum flywheel with 6 bolt pattern for standard LS engines
-Includes slave cylinder
-Includes pressure plate bolts
-8lbs lighter than the stock Z06 clutch/flywheel assembly
-Flywheel weighs 12.0lbs.
-Drives like a stock ZR1 - stock pedal feel
-960+ ft-lbs torque capacity (20% over LS9X clutch)
-No neutral noise or chattering
-All of the benefits of a twin disk clutch and none of the trade-offs

That's a very nice piece. Seemingly a must have for any M6 owners with a power adder or 500rwhp + rides.

Thanks. If you have 500rwhp you don't necessarily need the LS9R. You could go with our current LS9X which has 800 ft-lbs torque capacity. Unless you do just want to upgrade for $100 more, then could could go with the LS9R and be ready for future modifications.
