What upgraded Flexplate did you get? I think I have cracked my flexplate, I am curious on what type of flexplate ya'll have upgraded to? If you could provide a part # and price that would help me out. Also how many teeth does the flexplate have? Thanks

I got one of these right here when I did my TH400 upgrade.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...Q5fAccessories
They are made by some small company in CA, I think their name was CAT industries or something like that but so far I have not had any issues. They are a very heavy duty looking piece with very nice welds to the starter ring. I did some research before buying one and there were mulitple people running them with no issues so I went for it, and so far I love my choice. I think I only paid $70 for it a year ago, it was either that or spend the $250 on the TCI one.
Here is the link to the manufacturers website, you can buy directly from them if you want, its probably cheaper, thats what I did.

Mine is probably making right at 500 on the bottle and I have not had any issues. The CAT flexplate is SFI rated so it will be fine. If I had some good pictures I woudl send them, its a pretty beefy unit and you can tell it is nicely made. To this point my best 60' has been 1.51 and I have gone 11.1 at 120 with this flexplate and no issues.

Yeah, those same flexplates are listed with other sellers for even cheaper than that link above^ On of them is listed at $54 with a "Best Offer" option too.
CAT.
Does anyone know if these will bolt up to a YANK 6-lug converter for a TH400/LS1 config?

I think I may need one, after a trip to the track, cutting a 1.47 60' I now have a nock right at my bellhousing area. oil pressure is good and I drove it 60 miles home after the noise.
I do have a borascope and am going to take a peek at it tomorrow, I hope this is my noise, it would suck to be the motor.

Fit perfect. Bolt holes line up perfect with both a TH400 and 4L60. No drilling or oval holes required.
