It's not a "heavy duty" flasher you need.
You need one designed for use with LED lights.

You will need to switch your mechanical flasher to an electronic flasher in order to eliminate hyper flash and/or to make sure your tail lights work with your flasher engaged. This electronic flasher will make all of your lights, regardless if they are half stock bulbs and half LED's, work just like they are supposed to!

The key word is "electronic" 
also, at least in the earlier cars like my `87, there are two flashers that have to be replaced. Check your FSM

The EL12 is called a heavy duty flasher because it is meant to be used where the user is going to connect a trailer with tail lights on it and the flash rate remains constant and the flasher can handle the extra lamps since the trailer is connected in parallel with the car tail lights. OEM flashers work on current, high current, rapid flashing, low current (like LED's) slow or no flashing.
