Post a pic.....I think a lot of these flexplates are made by Pioneer who makes a shitload of flexplates and re-badges them under different names.

We have the Hughes SFI LS Flexplate in stock. Very nice product and still a great price. Check it out on our site.

I just bought a PRW for my 6.0 powerglide conversion and im pretty sure its not what i need. PRW makes badass parts though, and this looks just as good as any other flexplate ive come across. If anyone is interested I will sell it.

I just recieved a Pioneer plate today, for another application, but thought it interesting that it came with the SFI sticker(not ordered) and is .180 thick which is .026 thicker than the "bad ***" plate listed earlier in this thread, that states it is .035 thicker than "stock", at a price that is 1/2 of the "bad ***". Not trying to dig anyone, just thought it to be interesting....
