If someone did lose 1 second from the swap that is a very rare occurance. IMO there were other factors involved if he lost one whole second. Most I usually hear about is maybe .2 of a second. When I went to an 80e I sure as heck didn't lose all that much.

it may not be the output shaft afterall, idk, im not a transmission guru. the output shaft is not broken in the tailhousing but it definitely looks bent (not twisted). i started it in park, before i pulled the trans with the driveshaft unhooked at the axle and the driveshaft was spinning in park.....definiitely not supposed to do that. idk whats wrong with it but it doesnt work and the guy that built it is on vacation

Tim, who knows if it will work or not. There are really too many factors to make an accurate assumption about that. It either will or won't, there isn't much to debate on that. You have a better chance of having the trans last longer with the 80e, but people break those trannys as well, so don't think you've got a 100% bulletproof tranny if you do decide to go 80e. You will have to take care when driving with both trannys with that kind of power, especially if you drive it on the street. Everyday driving seems to be harder on them than track only stuff, just because of all the miles you'll be putting on it.
You've a 50/50 chance you'll get it right.

I have to ask cuz im going need to address my trans soon.
Is a performabuilt or FLT top level 4L65E going to hold up to a cammed 6.0 that is going to be getting a front mount turbo?
Or should i get the 4L80E ?
Just want an easy trans out/ trans back in if possible. Getting tired of making stuff work.

Its like valvesprings, No matter what brand, Dual springs or not, they all can/do break. Same with transmissions, No matter if you go built 60e, 65e, 70e, 80e they all break, some with only 300rwhp and others with 700+rwhp...
Its the luck of the draw.. just hope you get a good one.
Good luck with getting your trans fixed man.
