I'm upgrading to a forged 383 and may possibly restall my vig 3200 to 3600; the car will be taken to the strip 2-3 times a year; is it worth it to upgrade my flexplate at this time? The car has the stock 99 flexplate; which is supposedly better than the 2001-02's....

 

Stock flexplates are crap. Upgrade it

 

with what brand?

 

I dunno, there are some nice choices out there. They can get pricey at $2-400 but they are nice pieces. I would chose one of the billet aluminum ones if I had my choice. I chose a CAT power though for about $70. Its sfi rated, and about twice as thick as the stocker, and slightly heavier. I haven't had any problems with it. I think the only complaints I have heard of is the starter has taken some teeth off the flexplate. But mine has been great so far.

 

ive been wondering about this too. TCI keeps coming up alot but is there any other ones out there? and if its sfi rated, does it matter what brand?
