Also, a lot of G8 guys run 600rwhp with procharger and are on the stock tranny with an upgraded converter so its strong enough for my setup.
Okay. What do I know? I just had a 600hp truck with one. Ask Allen Nelson how many 6l80s they have broken and ask him if he suggests it for performance in any way. Ask any reputable truck shop. This isn't a g8. It doesn't behave the same way. It doesn't transfer weight the same way. It has more drag in between shifts. Your stock Tahoe with a 6l80 is stock. You also arent undergeared like the g8.
