Dave @ Yank talked me out of the TCI after discussing some of the problems it has. I am keeping the stocker for now.

The TCI and my Vig 3800 multi-plate bolted right up without any "problems".
We used good quality bolts and used RED Loctite on them to proper torque specs. Maybe you can honor us with the secret info "Dave @ Yank" has about probems with TCI flexplates.

I had that same problem with my TCi/vigilante 3800 combination, so i dont think the problem is isolated to Yank only. Got the problem fixed & used red locktite second time around. No problems so far

I have ripped the center out of 4 stockers and 1 aftermarket flexplate. I have a 1989 formula 350. The flexplate is the least of my worries.. LOL check out that kaboom !!!!

Mine came apart on my 01. Replaced it with a TCI and have had no more problems. You'll need to mill the stock converter bolt heads down a little with the tci flexplate or they will hit the block. I'm not saying every car is like that, but mine was and I've talked to a couple other people that had the same problem.

I want to hear this as well. I've run a Yank and a Vig with the TCI flex plate. Both were fine.

Get the trailblazer flexplate. It is stronger than the stock f-body one and cheaper than the TCI. It is part # 12602448. My stock one is fine, but has 60,000 miles on it and didn't want to take the chance.
