just wondering if the upgraded flexplate from zzp/intense is worth it.
Just going over some numbers here....

have you tested this flexplate?Well, to be frank put the Intense one out of the picture. The unit is too heavy for a part of the car that needs to be light.

why cant it be re-drilled, like they do to the stock flexplates?Originally posted by joeyboy777@Nov 1 2004, 09:34 PM
Remember, when going over the costs. If you want the ZZP flexplate, you must buy a new TC. the bolts dont line up on a standard TC. Do some reading on CLubGP on the flexplate. I was about to buy one when i thought i cracked my flexplate, luckily just a bolt was loose and was hitting metal. It wouldnt work for me cause I have a 2800 stall tc that uses the standard flexplate.
Stamatta emailed and said that I would have to run a new TC. yup. As far as if you will benefit from it? I think there are other components that you can spend the same amount of money on. It is all about what your goals and how much you want to spend. come up with a general idea of what you want to do, then email different vendors to see what they offer.

I was told at the time of my re-build, that I wasnt making enough HP, to warrent an aftermarket Flexplate <_<Originally posted by J.E.T.@Nov 2 2004, 09:35 AM
When ZZP rebuilt my trans, they replaced my flexplate with a stock piece. Not sure why - since the trans has everything else including hardened IS, TC-xxx, shift kit, lsd, etc. I figured since the trans has all the best parts, they would also put in the ZZP flexplate. Go figure...
Sorry, that doesnt answer your question or help you. It's more of a question for me.

so needing the upgraded flexplate...at what power level are you at...1/4-MPH...dyno?Originally posted by Buick 1@Nov 6 2004, 01:03 AM
When i had my Intense tranny installed i went with the Intense flex plate. The reason being i wanted some thing stout that would hold up with the mods i'm planing on doing. If you check the weight of the new flex plate with the Intense t/c you'll find it is still lighter than the stock flex plate and t/c. I know the Stamatta flex plate is lighter, strong and might work better but i wanted a steel flex plate because i feel it well hold up better in the long run. I can still hit 2.0 60 ft times with street tires and i suck at launching. This is only a FYI from some one that has one so please no flames.
