    Rebuilding my 4T65E-HD and got a new torque converter.. Looked at my old OE flexplate and it's a rust mess...

    My question is, what flexplate should I buy? OE, ZZP HD or Meziere.

    Will love to hear any input or info. Thanks

    If your power level doesn't require anything better than stock.. I'd go stock.

    I went with the one from zzp because it had the dual bolt pattern and that's what I needed.

    Need a tune after thus for sure. Either canned or help from others HP Tuners but With what I have in the top end supporting mods for 3.4 Pulley with no KR, CNC Ported heads, on my 04 GTP, not sure what type of power I'll be working with. I just decided to upgrade my stock chains to the GXP Gimini Chain set. Torque Converter is new stock. So thinking I might be good with just stock Flexplate.

    I guess it's just depends on how far I'm trying to take my car as for HP goes right?

    a higher stall will get you into your powerband faster regardless of your hp goals

    I was stock flexplate in my Bonneville with :

    Stage 3 heads
    Intense S1X cam
    Harland 1.8 roller rockers
    HD pushrods (right length for the setup)
    I forget which springs
    SLP Headers
    PRJ fuel rails
    PRJ plug wires
    WB store super thick intercooler with VW radiator and meziere 20gpm pump, two added overflow tanks.
    Upgraded fuel pump
    Gen V M90 with 2.9 pulley
    Northstar TB
    4" intake tubing
    LQ4 maf
    Meziere electric water pump
    Modified engine mounts (subframe flexed)
    Oil pressure kit (brings it up about 10psi)
    Aluminum oil pan
    3" exhaust back to bend by fuel tank.. then 2.5"
    Built trans with 3.29's and HD precision torque converter (did the converter based on the added weight of the car over a w body)

    Quite a few items.... and stock flex. Never broke one in this car.
