Just a quick question on the stamped steel variants, if you drill another pattern in em, prob voids the SFI rating ?

Well that still should be fine as the sfi is an rpm rating but i personally wouldnt drill 3 new holes. there are two patterns on the plate and should bolt up to anything.

The CircleD is like 5.5lbs or something. Chris has the chart. All the flexplates are within a 1.5lbs of each other. So you're not saving much with any of them. Stock is lightest or the same weight as the CircleD/Reactor.

When I talked to him, he steered me to the Hughes HP-4004X. That's what I have. It's a solid piece. I would look at that for a budget. It's SFI rated as well to 13K RPM.

When I put my new motor in next year, I'll step up to the CircleD/Reactor flexplate. As I will be pushing more power and stressing my FLT Level 6...

The 10 pounds is the shipping weight with box and padding. Sorry for the confusion. Here is the chart I did that compares most aftermarket options.

Forgot the TCIs were heavier. Everything else is within that ~1.5lbs range as stated.

That's a great chart, Chris.

Reactor flex plate is a nice piece. It is the one I have installed in my car.


I had to replace one bolt in the back of the block, one with a shorter head on it, clearance issue with converter bolt heads.

I was just wondering if there were any new SFI flexplates that have come out or if there were any changes or new information on the ones listed above.

Just looking for the latest info before I make a decision.
