Default Transmission for a lightning

I don't know if this has been answered but I have a friend with a lightning with about 600flbs of torque and 550ish hp. Anyways he cant keep a trans for more than around 100 miles. Any suggestions for a good trans. local shop can't handle this build. THANKS

I told him to call BTS the other day. I'll also mention FLT to him. Thanks for the help guys. Just trying to see what this truck will do and the transmissions are killing him.

That is what he ended up going with. Right now he is changing out the supercharger for a turbo
