Re: Beware of CSR Performance
Just put in a dispute with your credit card company. They will reverse the charge and credit your account.

Re: Beware of CSR Performance
Well its gonna be hard to comply with the new flex plate shield rule for many of us with stock transmission tunnels, no SFI transmission case option and no CSR shield. Hate to say it, but were gonna need removable tunnels in Stock to comply with the new rule given lack of product availability.

All vehicles running quicker than 10.99 seconds (*6.99) or faster than 135 mph (except some Stock and Super Stock classes as noted under Class Requirements) and using an automatic transmission must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and labeled accordingly. (“Blanket”-type shield, appropriately labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1, permitted.) All non-blanket-type shields must incorporate two (or one, per manufacturer’s instructions) 3/4 x 1/8-inch straps that bolt to the shield on each side and pass under the transmission pan, or transmission pan must be labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1. Permitted in all classes where an automatic transmission is used. Comp, Super Comp, Super Gas, 9.99 or quicker E.T. cars, and 135-mph or faster E.T. cars using an automatic transmission, Lenco Drive, or BRT must be equipped with a flexplate meeting SFI Spec 29.1 and covered by a flexplate shield meeting SFI Spec 30.1.

Re: Beware of CSR Performance
The 50 year old flexplates aren't the problem and neither is the good stuff (ATI, Meziere). It's the Chinese stuff.

Re: Beware of CSR Performance
My mistake, I confused the new SFI flex plate rule with the old 9.99 flex plate shield rule. Since I am moving to A/SA, their both new rules for me to comply with.
