Default trans swap shop??

I gotta swap my 4l65 to a 4l80. Its awd 05 silvy ss. And i wanna stay awd. Anyone recommend a good shop? I live in louisiana but will travel. The closer the better tho. I have read on here alot about this swap. Does anyone have complaints about the performance of the 80 after?

My level 3 performabuilt didnt mind my 600 to the tires on my 6300lb truck, but thats just me. The first gear is really long on the 80e which you may or may not like, and the increase in overdrive RPM is noticeable, few hundred increase.

Thats kinda what I was worried about. Just tired of dropping $ on 65's n have heard alot of people saying to go to 4l80.
