Default Anybody done Fully built 6L80E????

I was wondering if anybody here done a fully built 6L80E with a high stall, I'm going to be putting 600+hp to the ground and I want a 3K stall but I don't think my stock tranny can handle that any info would help thanks

Thy have a spot on their website to send inquires, they sent me a quote but it's been erased and I don't remember. Just make sure to call the transmission shop and not the converter shop!

Skipperdaddy is running 520+RWHP and his 6L80E is lasting, Im sure he doesn't beat the **** out of it all the time, but the occasional pull/Launch shouldn't kill it.

From what I have read is that they are stout transmissions while in gear, but where they fail is all the parts used while changing gears, 1-2 2-3 3-4 shifts
