Re: flexplates
Got mine for my build in the mail a few weeks ago. Y'all have preferences? I just got the el-cheapo sfi certified one from Jegs given I'm not trying to rotate the Earth. I've had no issues on my .90 stuff with them too but some people swear by particular brands.

Re: flexplates
TCI says they don't know when they will be able to send one! May have to look at a blanket.

Re: flexplates / shields
so just to understand rule there is no expiry on existing SFI flexplates & if you are using a aftermarket transmission case such as Reid , ATI etc you still need shield or blanket ?

Re: flexplates
Pete, I hope not, and I don't think you need either if your "Super Case"
comes with 2 SFI #'s. One for the regular shield or blanket area & one for the Flexplate Shield. I just bought an ATI unit to get rid of the aggravation of having to worry about them, and taking them on & off. J.R. |

Re: flexplates
I checked the Reid transmission site & their aftermarket powerglide case does Not need a Shield as it has a SFI rating of 4.1 & does Not need a Flexplate shield as has a SFI rating of 30.1 .. just need the answer on expiry dates of existing SFI flexplates
