I'm a fan of the Hughes SFI flexplates. I'm rough on my car and it hasn't given me any problems. May have to get the idle retuned down though. I idled about 150-200rmp's higher after the beefier flexplate was installed

how did you determine it was warped? If it was warped I would think you would of noticed it right out the box.

I had a Circle D flexplate and its awesome. i would give Chris and crew a call.
