For your weight I would use the Meziere one piece billet. It's probably the best quality flexplate out there.
I personally (dragster) use the CSR chrome moly unit and have had no issues with it.

I think how well the unit holds up depends a lot on your burn out style. If you let the tires chatter at the end of the burn out this is where you will get a lot of cracking issues.

My thought's anyway............

The least that you can use is the J&W Wheel.
The Mezier is probably the best for your application.

 

Meziere, buy the best to begin with and don't look back. Trust me! I went through 2 before I got the Meziere. One cost me $8000 in damage and the other only $300 plus a few hours of my time.

 

Meziere is the best..that and going to the 6 pad/bolt coverter from Marty Chance solved my problems.

meziere- works for me on my 481x 526ci self starting dragster - 6.00s in 1/4 3.80s in 1/8. their customer service is great. i also run chance converter. spend a little more at first and save a whole lot in the long run. awb

 

Heloooo Nurse!
That is some steller info right there. The six bolt deal, and getting it right the first time. I went to Chance stuff on an accident. The second best move in my entire drag racing career.

 

flywheel

anyone run the CSR aluminum flywheel?
seemed like the aluminum flywheels were a big rage at PRI this year.

 

CSR aluminum

Larry Snyder told me to run them and I have been using them now for three years with Zero problems.

I would say it depends on car leaving RPM weight etc. Your car is heavy. and you aren't going to be leaving hard from reading your other posts. Run a Mezerie 168 and you will be happy with the extra wt. when moving that 2800 + car. Don

 

meziere

meziere is the only way to go, i've spit the ring gear off a JW and a CSR at 8000 rpm, tears a lot of shit up

 

flywheel

i have a CSR aluminum that we ran in our nitrous motor. wanting to install it in our Roots blown T/D going to make 1200-1600 hp. no more than 8000 rpm, any opinions if this will be fine?

 

haven't heard anything on here about the REACCTOR FLEXPLATE..have a chance to buy one for $100.00+shipping....good or bad move?...has you see my specs at start of this theard..i'm not that big and not going to run that hard..i'm thinking 7500rpm max and don't know hp but have been told on few other sites i'm knocking at 1600hp range..what's you ideal on HP?

Stay away from it. Just spend the money on the Mezerie and you will never have to look back again. Don

 

I'll sell you a Reactor flexplate for $100 OBO. You just have to get a new ring gear put on it. It has 3 partial runs on it. By the way I now run a Meziere. Stay away from Reactor, unless you buy mine of course.

 

Same story here. Horrible customer service, deceptive. Try getting it re-certed, they make SFI look bad. Meziere is more $$$ upfront but worth it. I have run the CSR steel before with no issues with about the same setup you have.

 

Reactor Flexplate.

I have one on my shop wall thats a load of sh-t 11 passes and striped the teeth off the ring gear, I keep it on the wall as a reminder. Customer Service dont get me started. Stay away from Reactor at all costs. Meziere all the way.

 

sounds like REACTOR is out then..i'll just wait and buy a M

 

flexplate

You won't be sorry.One less thing to worry about.

 

CSR Steel Flexplate, 1900 HP @ 3506 lbs no issues, stay away from reactor for sure!
