Default PerformaBuilt Tranny and TQ Converter... Which flexplate?

Hello!
I just submitted an order for the level 1 PerformaBuilt tranny and converter... I figured that since I'll already have things apart, I'll do some preventative upgrades as well. I did some searching and wasn't able to come up with a good list of options, so here's a good chance to put them in one place! What flexplate do you guys suggest for this 4l60e?

I tried that first! He told me that any should work, didn't suggest anything.... so I'm looking for suggestions as to what you guys are running and suggest.

I think most people just run the stocker. Unless your turning serious rpm's which I doubt you are since you bought the level 1 it will be fine.

i run the meziere flex plate. it is a one piece flex plate and from the reading i did, it was one of the best. the price is not very nice though. a cheaper alternative is the TCI unit. it does weigh more and it isn't one piece but that shouldn't matter. i wanted a quality piece so everything was properly balanced. maybe all of them are, i do not know. i didn't want to take a chance. my car isn't that fast, it was only running high 11's but i have not had any problems with my flexplate.
