Default High HP Cars (TCI Flexplate Bolts)

Hey are any of you guys with high hp cars using the Bolts that come with a TCI Flexplate? Just asking, because I am doing a TH400 conversion and don't want to go back in and change them?

If they're grade 8 or higher (SAE) or 10.9 (metric), the proper length, installed and torqued properly they should be ok.

I ran stock bolts for awhile and on my last tear down I put in ARP's just for piece of mind but I agree with the above. Any good bolts at the right spec should be fine. Be sure to grind off the powder coating where the bolt holes are on the flexplate.

i ran the ones that came with the tci plate but had to go back and add locktite and some star lock washers cause mine kept coming loose. i did grind off the powder coating before it was ever installed
