If you tow, try a #10. Good all around plate.
Fair price on that plate. It's half of some of the others.
If you're handy with a grinder, you could always make
your own #10 from the plate that's in there right now.

A #10 will give you that black stuff. What trans do you have? gauges?

With the #10 in stock location you might be ok for awhile as long as you don lug it too much.

That won't take very long with the modifications you have planned. You might be better off getting a TC and a VB first and then doing those upgrades. That way you won't be sending clutch material all through the tranny every time the clutches or TC slip. This will help it live longer before you have to rebuild the whole thing.

Yeah it wont take long. If you can swing it you might put a billet input in when you add a TC and VB.
