Superplates are manufactured from a material with a 90,000 lb. tensile and 80,000 lb. yield strength to withstand thousands of cycles. Superplates are laser machined to avoid heat and stress that stamping inflicts on the part. The crank bolt holes and center hole are bored to exacting tolerances using ATI's in-house CNC machines. The Superplate uses the correct \"grip length\" crank bolts as dowels to prevent the plate from moving under high torque conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is a flexplate necessary? While manufacturing strives for precision, actually achieving it can be very difficult. Therefore, believing that a crankshaft will be 100% in the center of the main line of the engine and thinking that everything will line up perfectly from the damper to the input shaft of the transmission is a fallacy. Because of the imperfect process, the flexplate needs to be flexible in order to make up for the \"allowable\" tolerances of the various part manufacturers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATI's flexplate design is derived from a vast array of auto manufacturers, including big names like Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, Bugatti, as well as 30 years of our own experience. A billet or thicker flexplate does not flex and therefore cannot absorb the \"allowable tolerances\" and that, in turn, can cause damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATI Superplates are neutral balanced for use in internally balanced engines and exceed SFI 29.1 \u0026amp; 29.2 ratings. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 2em\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 2em\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevy 6 bolt for 7\/16\" bolts (standard replacement) - 2-piece rear seal crank flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Quantity: \u003c\/strong\u003e168-tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e SFI 29.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexplate Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eSteel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FR SPORT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45482099966009,"sku":"0J0U9","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8632\/8889\/files\/115386593475bb614131196c.jpg?v=1774177310","url":"https:\/\/shop.throttletherapynation.com\/products\/ati-performance-products-superplate-chevy-6-bolt-7-16-168-tooth-29-2-sfi-flexplate","provider":"Throttle Therapy Nation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
