The LS9 clutch works great up to about 825 ft*lbs TQ. I was on the edge of capacity of that clutch in Red Devil and Mayhem. .............. Randy Johnson and Chris Smith let me drive their cars and the low speed drivabilty of the DYAD seems good. The true test comes at the track.

Mark thanks for the information. Just about to purchase the clutch and DYAD was one of the ones at the top of the list. The CSC (throwout bearing) info. was really appreciated.
Love this build. Im assuming that you needed to change the wheel speed sensors when you changed to the Bosch ABS unit.
I think the Bosch unit communicates over the CAN bus with the BCM.
Are you going to take advantage of the traction control?
Did you need to add the interior switches that communicate with the BCM for the different traction control levels?

Looking forward to more updates.

I did not do traction control. The only car I have ever driven that has good Traction Control is the New Z/28. It has a Performance Traction Management system that needs a lot of stuff to work and a ton of development to make it faster than driver’s best effort. On most tracks I'm still just as fast if not faster with PTM off vs it on. I could add Bosch traction control to my set up but in my opion it would not make the car faster just easier to drive. On tracks like the Nürburgring where you do get airborne and light a lot PTM works great.
The Bosch system requires the stock Corvette ZR-1 active wheel speed sensors. So that was not a real big deal. It does have a lot more CAN interface and a driver selectable ABS switch. Because Bosch is the supplier for the ABS for both the Z/28 and the ZR-1 they can interface with the Carbon brakes better.
Watching this thread is just not fair. This car is an absolute thing of beauty with every single piece thought out to the Nth degree. Amazing work and the perfect car to strive for.
