Default New flexplate time

It's time to replace our flexplate. Are any better than the others in any
way, I.E. initial movement, E.T. or ??. The Canadian Dollar is dropping
like a rock, so it's very important we buy the right part once, rather than
my normal sequence of buying "right-priced", and then finding out there is better stuff and buying a second one!! Thanks in advance for any meaningful input. J.R. (Smallblock Stocker, 200 Metric.)

If you are looking for durability , the Meziere billet wheel is as close to indestructable as you can get ....Yes they are expensive but its the only plate I"ve had that lasted the life of the SFI sticker.
They can repoint the teeth when you get it recerted, comes back like new.
If you use a 153 tooth , it weighs in under 6# .

Tom, I just priced that one out after your recommendation, YIKES, it
isn't cheap! I would need to see H.P. or E.T. to make that purchase.
Great recommendation though. Thanks, J.R.

You can't go wrong with a flexplate from ATI.

What's wrong with Reactor? I just had a custom one made for my 10,000 rpm setup. Both my engine guy and the transmission guy recommended it. This week end will be out first race on it.

The Internally Balanced Billet Meziere 168 tooth only weighs 6.3 lbs. I like the "one" piece design.


Like Tom stated: they are pricey, but you get what you pay for.
