Re: SFI FLEXPLATE Whats up Hi Tom,
I've got to apologize for the delay in the SFI approved LS1 flexplates. We were working with a company that drug their feet too much and then came back with a tooling fee quote of 23K. That would have sent the cost of the flexplate up to the $300/ea mark. Since then, we've decided to tool up and make them ourselves instead of farming them out. I sent the first prototype to the test lab 3 weeks ago for SFI certification. I found out the results yesterday. The passed both the spin test and material tests. Our material is now on order and will be here in two weeks. We'll have them on the shelf within the month. The TCI part number is 399753. I'll have some pricing info in the next few days.

Re: SFI FLEXPLATE Whats up Scott,
We have both the LS1 bolt pattern as well as the small GM bolt pattern drilled in it. That way you can bolt a TH350/TH400 or TH2004R converter to it or the stock style LS1 bolt pattern.
