I'm not aware of any flexplates that are significantly lighter than stock. I was fretting over the fact that the TCI flexplate was 2 lbs heavier than the CDS Reactor plate until I remembered that I was losing approximately 30 lbs of rotational mass with the aftermarket converter versus stock.

 

Haha good point!

I'm also a little amazed by how most people seem to avoid many TCI products in many cases, but here quite a few are running and recommending the flex plates.

 

Well it is a comp product... QC over there ain't the best

 

Anyone know of a cost-effective flexplate for a Yank 80E converter? I believe their 80E converters have a 6 bolt pattern. Would this one work? LS1 SFI FLEXPLATE

 

I would call Yank Directly on that one.

 

Typically when they say LS1 then they are made to work with a 60E. You can find that style SFI rated flexplate all over the place online in different configurations.

 

I'm hoping to find a flexplate that will bolt to an 80E and not require a spacer. Perhaps this is only possible when using a converter that has an 60E bolt pattern like Circle-D.

 

thats what ill be doing, circle d converter that uses stock flexplate

 

I found this Hughes flexplate, but it shows this adapter as a "required part". Anyone know about this flexplate?

Yank says their SFI flexplate is only for 60E applications. Their multi-disk units only come with a 6-bolt 80E bolt pattern and thus need an 80E flexplate with spacer. They recommended using TCI 399754 with their multi-disk 80E converter.
