I'm a fan of the Hughes SFI flexplates. I'm rough on my car and it hasn't given me any problems. May have to get the idle retuned down though. I idled about 150-200rmp's higher after the beefier flexplate was installed

how did you determine it was warped? If it was warped I would think you would of noticed it right out the box.

I had a Circle D flexplate and its awesome. i would give Chris and crew a call.

I think we are a little late to the thread......But we keep the hughes style and our CNC billet bad boy in stock. Be glad to help answer any questions about LS flexplates. We have done extensive research on them.
