Re: My 2005 CTS-V

Got the car back last night with the new slave and Fidanza twin disk, the car drives amazingly well for a twin disk. Guess the large motor makes for easy engagement, I can just let out the clutch slowly and it accelerates almost like a stock clutch. Can't wait until break-in is done with and I can really put my foot into it.

The car feels a lot faster now, takes less throttle to accelerate, probably due to the loss of 45 lbs rotating mass from the heavy ass OEM flywheel. It also got rid of the rear diff clunking when I unload it at low speeds, and shuts off right away instead of dieseling for over a second and shaking the car.

Should be good for almost another 30whp as well, a lot of guys are seeing approximately 6% gains just from reduced drivetrain loss. I'll know for sure at the next dyno day.
