Default SFI Flexplate Needed? Or Stay Stock?

Got a 00' T/A with 43k miles, putting in a converter, cooler, built trans etc. Since it's sitting right there I thought should I replace it with a SFI Flexplate like from Speed Inc. or TCI or just leave it stock? Thoughts???

I tried searching didnt come up with anything.

I'm still using the stock one....but it wouldn't hurt to upgrade if you got the cash to spare.

It's good to spend the extra money on added safety. Never can go wrong there. I'm putting a TH400 in my car and I'm going with the one from Speed Inc.

When my trans and converter got put in it turned out the I had a crack from every converter bolt to the started gear on the flex plate, I got the speedinc. one and its a nice piece. It was only $180 overnighted from IL to TX. I ordered it at 11 am on a thursday and had it by 10 am the following friday

I am running the stocker but can be sure that the next time the tranny or converter have to come out I will be upgrading mine. Since you are in there probably a good time to go ahead and do it if you have the extra cash.
