That's a tough one. I know there are guys making some big horsepower on the 6L80, but I think it's just a matter of time. The transmission is only rated at 469 HP (flywheel) and 439 TQ. My transmission didn't last long once I added 600 to the wheel. The 4/5/6 clutch packs actually fused together. I spoke with a GM tech who said he's even seen this happen with stock motors. My builder (ARD) put together a stage III transmission upgrade for me. Shifting is amazing now and everything is holding together fine so far.

Like Russ said everything I`ve read is over 600rwhp you are on borrowed time if the tranny is stock.:(

I doubt anything in the drivetrain can take 1000hp stock. Engine, tranny, rear-end, half shafts, CV joints...For 1000hp, everything would probably need an upgrade, either upfront, or shortly thereafter when it breaks.

well the engine is no longer and LS3, that is out and sold, driveshaft, rear-end, half shafts, cv joints etc is all aftermarket to with stand all the hp. The only thing stock is the tranny.
