I'm with Diesel Nut here.......That looks like the weld or machining was bad. Maybe a coat of that Barney Purple paint would have made it hold up better.

 

When it broke I was not running it hard, but it has been in this last year run pretty hard raced 114mph 11 second 1/4 mile and dynoed at 700hp, and run hard for testing the turbo setup and all the other things that were done to it. It all is a custom build by Ellis Performance from Chicago area. It was only 10,000 miles approximately and 15 months of time on the flexplate. As for running 800hp I would probably go with the BD Flexplate and it is now SFI 29.3 diesel rated, that is what I replaced mine with and it was recommended by Dave Goerend.
