the info why some of these drop in kits do not work correctly. I have posted this info years ago up here
For one you have a stock sized housing and matched stock sized OEM impeller
then one drops in a SS plate into the housing taking up space
then one drops in a stock sized OEM impeller
This is Not going to work correctly as the SS plate has taken up space within the impeller housing so the IMPELLER is too tall and its jammed and crammed too much in the housing.
Like I said tolerances are the upmost important for flow and volumes. when it comes to impellers and the housing they sit / spin in
Again a stock sized OEM impeller does not work correctly when one drops in a SS plate in the stock sized housing.
