Its hit and miss on that. Some have been fine running a stock flywheel and some have not with alot more power. I'm still running a stock flywheel in my truck.
Most likely not when making 650rwhp. Good to know tho cause ill be in the 650-670range here soon.
I have seen quite a few faliures and didnt want to take any chances so Henry hooked me up with 1 at my request 
Ill be running that hp if not more and a stock flex plate. Mine still looks like brand new at 500-550hp and 36k

I ran a stock flex plate all last year in the low 10's high 9's , it was still perfect when i pulled it out , I have ran across many cracked and a few broken , HP didnt seem to be the common denominator though , so i guess its any ones guess , I wouldnt run the billet unless you have to , I personally like that the stock piece has some flex to it , it could save some shock load on other parts.
Most stock flex plates were installed by GM.
I was refering to the trans installer numb nuts.
Attention to the dowl pins and proper bolt tq has a lot to do with the life span of the flex plate.

Make sure you check fitness on converter pilot. Most need to be machined or you will destroy the pump.
