6L80 Durability
Just trying to get a feel for the limits of a 6L80. How much power are you pushing through your 6L80 and for how long? Anyone out there with an upgraded 6L80 to hold more power?

I have the 6l80 with a 6.2 fully bolted cam, and a 3800 pi stall, the only thing is that the tranny gets hot quickly and stays there. my tranny temp its around 180 220 too hot

I read somewhere about a guy that has a tubro Escalade with the 6l80 and he went thru a few trannys(seems like he was in the 550-600hp range), and at the time they didnt have any hardened parts for it so he couldnt upgrade. I loose all conception of time sometimes so this could have been early last year when i read the posts.
