i would man, TR has them 250ish after taxes, and i emailed that FTIconverters or whatever and that Billet flex plate is 305shipped, not 280 free shipping. i even told him im on PT.net and i was recommended to come to him for a badass flywheel.

15ish cheaper, but i have never heard of them nor do i know if they will ship fast or not.
you can get summit or jegs to price match!! tell them where you saw the lower price, and they will match it, and beat it by a little. thats how I got my arp bolts cheap.

Because its the best of the best and only a small bit more than a good steel one.

Have you ever been sorry when you bought the best of the best?

You might as well step down as moderator now, it's in his blood.

has anyone broken the TCI/SFI flex plate? ive never heard of it. a guy at work is running a TCI in his 10.2 @ 135ish all day and it's been in his car for 7yrs.

the TCI is 225ish plus 8.5% tax so thats 245ish or buy a Billet flex plate for 305ish. i guess you can't go wrong with it considering it's less than 100 to go to the best.
do i have to get longer bolts for the flex plate to crank and then longer converter bolts?

Why can I expect more pissy little responses like that from him?
