Default Re: SFI flexplate mandatory in all v8s Jan 2024

I’m not sure if it’s the 7000 rpm or the converter hitting at 5800 instead of the 4400 people used to use! I think the converter hit stresses the flex plate more than going down the track but it could crack at the hit and come apart down track. The stock GM flex plate that I saw has the ring gear only welded on one side. The certified appears to be welded on both sides of the ring gear and possibly more welds. Both of mine are certified but have been in my cards for years. I’m thinking I’m going to replace them. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA
