Default anyone heard of these?

Im wanting to see if any of you heard of these companies, C.A.T. power engine parts and Hughes performance. Im wanting to buy an SFI approved flexplate but I was wondering if anyone has bought the flexplates from any of these two companies. The reason im asking about these two vendors is because my budget was cut a little short and their SFI approved flexplates aint that expensive. Thanks

I have seen the CAT version. It is about .035 thicker and has a nice coating on it. Comes with the SFI approved sticker, so I guess that should mean something. It would not be my choice for a big HP car, but it is definitely stronger than stock and is quite affordable.

We offer the new billet aluminum flexplate with changeable lightened bolt on ring gear that is SFI approved and has the sticker on it. Custom milled and anodized black. It has all three bolt circles. Our introductory sale will start on the first as well as our new line of full competition converters for 4l60 and 4l65e. Pm for the new price on the flexplate.

Correct, The CAT flex-plate is the stock 4L60E bolt pattern. If you are trying to use it for a TH400, modification is necessary. I would suggest a multi bolt pattern flex-plate like FTI has for a conversion setup.

Hows that flex-plate working for you? Any problems besides having to modify it to fit your tranny?
