Flexplates-Aluminum vs Steel??

Well you do need some weight to plant the tires but these are really heavy cars.
Reducing rotating weight is always a good thing and sends more power to the tires. Im not sure if a huge et gain will be noticed but for me its all about optimizing the setup. I dont mind skimping so much on easily replaced parts but if later on down the road I decide I want an aluminum flexplate I dont wanna pull the trans, rather spend the extra $$$ and do it right the first time.

It will not slow your car down. Will it pick up a half second? No, but it'll help a little! Now pack your lunch for a few days and spend the extra coin on the CSR aluminum flexplate!
