Best Aftermarket flexplate?? you tell me
my oem flex plate is cracked and i need a new one.
i know having a lightweight flywheel helps your engine rev faster.
do they make lighter weight flex plates or are they all the same.
And good brands i should buy?
thanks alot i want to order one today

You want a stronger flexplate......it won't be lighter. I have a TCI on my car. Some people have had problems with them because of the coating that they put on them, but I think that is fixed now. The coating would wear down and the bolts would loosen up.....................just grind the coating off around the bolt holes to be sure.
There are other aftermarket ones, but I can't think of names right now......try a search if it works.
Also, a stock 98 model flexplate is supposed to be strong.......it will have round holes in it.
hope his helps

It is probably a bit overkill for an average below 750 H/P street engine though. A stock unit would work Chris, did you find a Pioneer like I suggested last night on the phone?
But as you have it apart and time is on your side... definatley look at all your options.... exotic Billet all the way to stock... with every one in between! Lot's to choose from!
