VS

all the other flexplates on the market to use in a fbody



what are the weight savings between them all??

 

CircleD is heavier than everything but the TCI... but we're talking about 1lbs difference between stock and aftermarket IIRC.

Chris posted up a chart one time that had all the aftermarket flexpaltes on it... Hughes, TCI, CAT, Reactor, CDS/Reactor, Stock, and something else. I'll see if I can find it.

 

you have a link to the TCI one?

Here is what I was talking about. You're not saving much weight or gaining much between any of them. I'd go with the CDS/Reactor Aluminum one or the Hughes... Which I think can still be used with the 4L80. At least I've seen it mentioned. Otherwise, TCI or CSR...

 

ill need one for the 6.0/4l80 which comes in at 6.10 by the cart factory flexplate and the only one that beats that is the CSR at 5.22

 

You're talking pretty insignificant weight tho - it's not like the torque converter or a flywheel where you shed a ton of weight. I want something that will hold together...

 

true. i just wanted to know the weights between them all.

 

I was surprised it was almost no difference.

 

wonder how good the stock ones are. i know there not sfi approved. (408ci-150shot-4l80 with transbrake)

you dont hear many people swapping to aftermarket ones that much.
