Gardena, CA - Now you can
replace the breakage-prone OEM Chevrolet flex plate with a precision Reactor
Products Variable Inertia FlexPlate and gain the performance advantages of
"store energy".
Here's How:
First, you've probably
come to know the problems associated with using the stock Chevy Flexplate in
high performance applications. Because of its construction (.090 - 110" steel
stamping with a tack welded ring gear), it commonly suffers from misalignment,
excessive run-out and outright breakage.
The solution comes in the
form of a precision computer machined solid billet aluminium flexplate. These
units are reinforced in all critical areas, and by the use of special
"lightening slots:, are comparable in weight with the OEM flexplate.
However, in many
applications, weight properly placed can actually benefit performance. And
that's why a special Inertia Weight Ring is offered. The weight ring is easily
bolted to the flexplate as desired, and because the weight is concentrated on
the outside (as opposed to the hub area), it takes full advantage of gyroscopic
forces to provide "stored energy" on the launch.
Moreover, the weight ring
serves to significantly reduces RPM drop-off between shifts, which keeps the
engine closer to it's optimum power band.
The reactor ring set-up
had proven to be an excellent benefit to those racers with smaller displacement
engines, but is equally at home on engines of any size.
The Reactor Flexplate and
Inertia Weight Ring come dynamically balanced and are available for small block
and big block Chevy (153 and 168 tooth) applications, Buick V-6, Mopar & Fords.
