Default Anyone using a Hughes flexplate with their LS1/4l60e combo?

I know a lot of people use the TCIs, but I have been hearing a lot of bad things about them, and considering I blew up two of their converters in two months, I am looking elsewhere. I found that Hughes makes one for our cars, and was wondering if anyone is using it. Did it bolt up just like stock? Also, I heard many people using the flexplates out of the late model trucks (Part # 12602448) I am putting a FLT Stage 4 trans and Yank PT4400 converter in, and figured I would replace the flexplate since the stock one has 60,000 miles on it. The car will never see anything over 450 rwhp. Let me know what you guys think

The Hughes is cheaper and I trust them more than TCI, but haven't heard much about them.

Well, not many people using them, so I went with the Trailblazer flexplate. Part number 12602448 from SDPC.
