Of course I got the thick ones and had to make it a 4 plate pack. Wondering if it's going to last or if I should get the thinner plates and tear it back down? It's in a Stock LT1 car. Thanks.

I hesitate to answer your last question because I would say you have other problems, internally. Five B-W type frictions should be plenty enough. Red Altos may just prolong the next episode, I fear.
How much clearance do you have now? Do you know what it was originally?
