Default Ls1 + cts-v t56 + ls7 clutch problems

I have a 2000 Ls-1 in my c4 corvette, I recently did a cts-v t56 swap, and I did a ls7 clutch and flywheel. I first tried the cts-v slave with the Katech spacer but the slave fully extended didn’t even touch the pressure plate, so I took it off and installed a ls7 slave out of the c6z and I used the spacer and it was too big, any ideas what I should be using ? I’m still using the cts-v bell housing. The shims tick sells are too small

I have basically the same setup and I had to mill the 3/4" Katech spacer in half. I have a ls7 clutch, cts-v slave, and a bastard cts-v/converted to a gto mn12. Seems like the spacer actually ended up at 5/8" to get my math right. What flywheel do you have? I assume ls7.

I do have the ls7 flywheel, I did crack the bell housing though, can I use a fbody/gto bell housing ? Also the cts-v slave with the Katech spacer is too short on my setup, with the ls7 slave it’s too long, maybe I need the spacer milled down with the ls7 slave ?

Just do the math. Nothing wrong with milling the thick Katech piece. I can't confirm but seems I've read that you must use a gto starter with a gto bellhousing. Seems to me the cts-v and gto starter are the same.
