Absolutely, supposedly the 98 had something different (stronger or maybe just something to do with working on different applications) but for the price it's worth piece of mind.
The gold anodized SFI plates are pretty cheap and work well from my research here. I think I got mine for $60-70 on ebay. Someone even gave me ~$20 for my stock one.

Are any SFI rated plates better than stock?

Hell yea dude, I saw the horror stories and did some search but the thing is idk if these guys had diff trans, playin with nitrous, or were just simply running these stock plates with a **** ton of power. I would like to get away with runnin the stocker but maybe it dosent seem wise.

The stocker is crap (thin and weak). Anything aftermarket is an improvement. Im running the CAT Power. Its heavier then stock but a hell of a lot stronger. Its about twice as thick as the stocker. They usually run about $70 shipped (ebay) and are SFI rated to about 13K rpms. Stock bolts will work fine.

Did you have to drill out the holes any? Stock bolts were long enough huh?

Amazingly you are right, the Cat Power used to be all over ebay. Wonder what happened? The Yank comes with new bolts. However, I had to shim mine and I wasnt comfortable with the thread engagement so I got some high grade bolts from Orielly's and cut them to the exact size I need for full thread engagement into the converter feet.
