Default Which sfi flexplate?

I'm trying to make a lot of horsepower, around the 1000 rwhp mark. What flexplate do I need? I'm running a 4L80 trans but the converter was made to fit a 4L70e flexplate. Just any SFI one is fine or do I need something more? Which vendor on here has a good one for a descent price?

View this thread for some information. There is also a decent table that shows the difference between the various flex plates.

Not saying you need it really. Just posting it up for your review along with the chart on the last post of the first page fo the thread.

For 1000 HP I would go billet aluminum. That is a lot of power and weight for the stamped steel one to hold. I typically suggest the billet aluminum one if you are over 750 RWHP. Our aluminum flexplate will fit any converter combo, so no worries there.

OK...What "GREAT" deal are you cutting me? Shipped to a business 50310....
Does it require new or longer bolts? Price them in there too. Converter bolts
too?
