If you're going to rev it to high rpms (6,500+) you might want to consider a SFI rated flexplate for safety reasons.

I've got the B&M SFI rated flexplate...Scat also makes one. Just be sure you get the stock weighted late model one if you're running a stock motor (or rebuilt to stock configuration) otherwise they'll come neutral balanced.

I got a TCI SFI approved flexplate, since my stock one cracked in about 10 spots.
