Default Flexplate recommendations

What flexplate are you 4L60 guys using? I make about 430 at the wheels and will be spraying a 150 shot. I plan on going to a 408 with a f1 in the future so would like to get one that will work in the later on as well. I plan on using arp fasteners on everything.

I saw that one on their website. Might have to call them and see what kind of warranty it has.

the speed inc one is just the $50 cat racing one. Im still mad at them about that. Its a great piece though. Just go with that, I had the TCI one and went with the cat racing one. Its SFI and it fits like stock. And its way cheaper.

First, the one that speed inc, tci, hughes, all are good options, anything with an SFI tag to me is worth buying.

Second, if you think 4ljunkie tranny is gonna live behind a 408 with an F1 blower, you need to rethink that.
