It is advised though to run some type of forward/aft limiter if just using a motor plate. Alot of guys run a motor plate and the stock trans mount SDG Motorsports Hellcat Demon and Redeye Supercharger CNC Porting https://www.sdgmotorsports.com/

Alot of guys run a motor plate and the stock trans mount It should be ok...But...If your making good power,700-800+ a mid plate wouldnt be a bad idea. Once its installed its easy to see the benefits of a mid plate... You really need to have the converter made for a mid plate, you might get by with a stock one and a 8th inch thick one. Although 1/8th steel is available it twisted my homemade mid plate like a pretzel behind a 850+hp Wedge... As stated run a good poly mount a limiter etc. [color:"red"]65 Hemi Belvedere coming soon [/color] [color:"#00FF00"]557" Indy engine 1.07 60ft 144mph in the 8th 2100 lbs package [/color]

I run 2 limiters(thats just me). A .090 steel mid plate is minimum, which is what I run and that way I didnt need to extend the nose on the converter
