Cant be the one hes talkin about. Can I have the link please?

I actualy talked to dave at yank and he said they would help me out. I guess they may have some.

 

Yeah that CAT Power floats around at a lot of places and gets re-badged as other brands as well. However, it is NOT on ebay anymore.

 

I went right to power cat and I see they have them for 75+shipping. Im gonna see what dave from yank recomends me on mon but if not ill grab one from power cat.

 

I think Dave throws in the CAT power flex-plate for free or cheap when he is running specials. If he anyone says they have an SFI flex-plate or $150 brand new or less its the cat power. All others are $200+.

 

SFI rated is the only way to go, go directly to cats web site. I am running one of their flexplates with no issues. You really don't want to loose a flexplate on the run. It's just cheap insurance.

 

For anyone that wants to know, yes the Cat Power is a chinaman flexplate, however, the SFI rating is legit. I checked their website.

 

The stock flex plate can handle a lot of power. I was running high 10's on mine with no issues until I switched to the th350 tranny. The difference between the years is that from 98-00 the flex plates had both SBC and LS style bolt pattern and the newer ones (01-02) only had the LS style bolt holes tapped out. Now the SBC ones were there you just had to drill them out. I used the TCI flex plate as another option but to each his own..

 

I did alot of searching and what I found was the TCI wasnt recomended by yank but the thing is the poster never gave a reason so wtf knows?! But also I guess the powdercoat on that TCI isnt good and bolt heads need to be shaved down or they hit the block. I did a **** ton of searching and found alot of mixed answers. Most people seem to be running the TCI and POWER CAT.

 

I have a TCI flexplate haven't installed it yet.

 

I have the TCI with a Vig stall. I bought the arp bolts and they weren't long enough so I went to the hardware store and got me some grade 8's. I think I had to go with a 3/4" long bolt. Had I went with a stock flexplate I would have been able to use them. For what some SFI plates can be bought for it seems like a good investment. I do have a tendency to over build things though. I had to use an 1/8" shim to get the converter spacing correct.

 

Just a little update. I talked with Dave@yank and I guess they used to get their FPS from Cat power. Says they went out of buisness. Anywho, I was recomended the trailblazer FP its not sfi rated but its stronger and should be a great fit. Should be fairly cheap to.

 

Nice find

 

HAHA well, just ordered the upgraded FP from dealer. Not as cheap as thought $165 but I trust its much better than my stock 01-02 and should fit with stock bolts. Price must have somethin to do with living in CT everything is expensive as hell!
For anyone doing a search, part # for this is flexplate is #12602448

 

Running the CAT power here too. Much thicker and Beefier and its SFI rated for like $70. Can't beat it.

 

 

Heres the CAT one. Still in business as far as I can tell and much cheaper than that.

You would want FP-346

 

the install went smooth I had no issues.

 

Thats what I told Dave at yank but he said hes been trying to order from them the last few months and they are out of buisness. I also called tsp to see if they had it in stock but they didnt have any either. So who knows. Either way I got the upgraded piece.

 

just got the Cat flexplate last week, just go to ebay motors n search ls1 flexplate, u will come across it. 60$ plus 15$ shipping. Very impressed with it.

 

It isnt there anymore. If you still see it put the link here. But like I said, I already bought one.
