I think the best out there is the Meziere flexplate http://www.meziere.com/index.php?pgName=flexplates. It is made of billet steel and is a true one piece plate, no welds. I also use the TCI which is pretty stout.

How would they compare to stock? Im doing a tranny and tc install from performabuilt and yank and was wondering if it would be smart to change the flexplate as well to a lighter weight one?

We run the Mezeire. Safety is never too expensive IMHO.
I prefer having a one piece billet flexplate, rather then a welded ring on a plate. Nothing wrong with that, but for our purpose, it is much better option.

hey hey dont assume, this year i hope to be an 11 sec car lol. The reason i bring this to concern is when i was prying the tranny off it seemed to press against the flex plate a little and i didnt want it to be bent or anything. Its not like i was not being careful but just gently prying the tranny away. I know im pry being paranoid but maybe ill just get another factory one for piece of mind.
