I'm planning on swapping the flex plate on my build because I've heard and seen them brake on higher HP engines. You thought about doing that at all? I was thinking of picking one up from Circle-D

I put the thick flexplate on with my build. Great peace of mind and could keep your whole project from grenading somewhere down the line.
