YES, It's a one piece dual 6 hole billet LSx flexplate . Far and away the best I've seen!! It meets SFI 29.1 and higher.

2nd vote for Reactor. It's way lighter than the Meziere and probably most of the others out there. Very nice piece. Now, if they would only ship the ones that we've ordered.

Heh, That's why I said meziere...Well, that and I'm not all that keen on supper light weight flexplates: Granted, they do have their place and purpose. I don't see the quality for price as being better than the mezie. But, if it is ultra light weight that your looking for, then yes go with the Reactor. It is definatly a quality piece... at a quality price... shoot, it's even downright purty

Ok guys if I can get a meziere flexplate in, without blowing my budget, I will do a side by side comparo with the reactor.

so far it stacks up like this:
Reactor: Aluminum billet with steel starter ring and inertia wheels. SFI 29.1
Weight: 6 to 6.5 lbs.
price: about 260.00 + shipping

Meziere: One piece billet alloy. No starter ring, Teeth are cut into wheel.
perfectly concentric. Looks to be almost impossible to warp or break. SFI 29.1
Weight: 6.5 Lbs.
price: about 400.00

Not quite shure at the moment how to test them, but I'll figure out something
