Default Flexplate???

okay i have broken 3 flexplates so its time to upgrade.
So what are some good brands that wont crack after 6 months?
I have looked around and found a company called TCI that makes heavy duty ones. any of you use them if so how are they? Also found one from B&M.

Cracking at the crank bolts means you are running too much power for a cheap flexplate and need to upgrade

Cracking at the converter bolts means its out of alignment somehow. Check that the snout has a seat

TCI here and recommended on any car with H/C or spray along with an upgraded stall

I would also check the converter for proper alignment and the snout is seated as noted by Pocket.
