SFI Flexplates
Working on a summer project that involves a new motor and tranny/diff by RPM. Looking around at flexplates while i have the driveline out. Are the plates in these cars the same as other LS1/x plates? I see that B&M, RPM, ATI and TCI all make aftermarket SFI flexplates. Is this a decent upgrade or is it more along the lines of good for peace of mind? Thanks!
Part Numbers/links:
ATI: 915733
TCI: 399753
B&M:

I used a TCI once and I liked it, nice and thick.

Im talking about the up front unit on the motor, not the drive plate on the converter.
