Default Flexplate

Is there a performance flexplate out there? How does the stock flexplate hold up?

LOL, just wondering if the stock one is weak. I'm pushing 168hp out of 1 cylinder.
I'm just stock and need a flexplate, should I get a stock one or upgrade while the motor is out?

stock flexplate is fine for normal rpm builds.
if your gonna turn over 6500 on a hi power motor, then a sfi flexplate with arp bolts would be a wise investment
