TCI flex plate or Stock flexplate? im about to drop my motor in my ride but i wana upgrade some things since its out i was planing on buying a tci flex plate and a SLP harmonic balancer is the flex plate worth the money or should i use the stock one ..........any other upgrade tips i have a 00 ls1 5.7
if you are going to be going to the track, and doing some hard launches (or just putting decent power to it) its definately worth the money, ive seen a few stockers (including my own) rip apart the holes around the crank bolts.

sound slike a solid plan. i would recommend doind it with the motor out. it makes the work easier. but in a car with an engine bay that big. you shouldnt have a problem. street/strip car? or strictly track

im planing on doing both mainly street there is a lighting that thinks he can beat anyone and some ricers so im planing on showing a real cars power. should i use the stock converter or upgrade and if so to which
upgrade, most ls1 folks like using a stall somewhere between 3200-3600. what trans do you plan to back the engine up with?
i use a th400 with a 4000 stall i love it. but then again i have heads/cam/intake plus spray.

I got the generic looking SFI approved plate that several companies slap their name on and resell
it was $60 shipped brand new on ebay
its thicker than stock, gold anodized, and doesn't feel much heavier than stock at all

I got this one also, Its manufactured by CAT Power Systems. It is significantly thicker then stock and much stronger Im willing to bet. It does have the SFI rating also. I got mine for about $70 shipped I believe.
