Well I can't take credit for the 265mm because that was your recommendation on the phone a week or two ago to me lol. I have been searching around and seen mention of running an extra spring on the pump to raise fluid psi to the converter?? What is this about and would you recommend it for me? I don't beat on it super bad, bit if I'm going to do it, I wanna do it right the first time.

Okay so I got my converter and went with a tci flex plate to save a few bucks. I am a bit confused on the flex plate. It came with the bolts and stuff, but also came with a small collar/sleeve looking thing. It is loose on both ends in the Flexplate where the crank bolts up. Anyone know what it is for?

That is the extension for the pilot and should be used. Note that the TCI flexplate does not use a spacer, so this is needed. I have recently read that circle D is now machining their billet fronts with this "built in"

Your "LS Dual" billet front will have the proper length pilot for an LS crank. You will not need to use the extender from TCI. The TCI 399754 has 6 bolts on the 11.5" bolt circle, which you will be able to use all 6. Keep us updated...any more questions just ask.
