Default 2nd Broken Flex Plate. What To Do Now?

Well, my suspicion was confirmed today by removing the inspection cover on the bell housing.

So now what do I do? Warranty covered the first one. It appears I ripped the center section out of this one with 290hp. FOUND THE WEAK LINK![:@]
I don't think I even want to mess with the warranty, as this one only lasted a few months. The extra 50 hp added since then did this, in my opinion. The 1st one was broke in a starburst pattern. The center section didn't look like this.
I will probably go to ZZPerformance and put in this Meziere billet alloy steel flex plate

Here is the link:

Kinda salty at $400, but what are my alternatives? I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GOING BACKWARDS IN HORSEPOWER!
Probably going to throw 3.29 gears in while the transmission is out. This is what the kit looks like:

AND the VSS reluctor wheel to go with it:

Can any say $,$$$'s?
Going to have to have the HPtuner now for sure!
Comments and suggestions, PLEASE!

Wow that sucks. I would get the ZZP flex plate just as insurance. That will be one more thing you don't have to worry about in the future when you keep modding.
