    Default Stock flexplate rating?

    How much can our stock flexplate hold?

    1 foot pound before it breaks.
    I would assume alot. Because people use stock ones and kill built trans with them.
    Ask Google if you want a ball park. Should be comparable to camaro, vette and similar.
    But keep in mind its not a HP or tq rating. It would be rated like (ft/lb) / sec. With resistance force as the variable. Because the same wheel could break at 400 ft lbs in a 10k lb truck but hold 800 ft lbs in a 5k lb truck. And 9/10 times the bolts shear off so you don't dick anything else up. So you can also figure out the shear strength of the bolts for a limit.

    Hope this helps some.
