4L80E hands down. 1000HP in a 6L80E is tricky; 1000HP in a 4L80E is routine.
Many Gen-5 Camaros with turbos or other big adders and installing 4L80E after they blow up their 6L80E.
Part of the issue is the critical tuning - as I understand it, a tuning mistake can apply two gears at once, destroying the transmission.
GM is moving as fast as it can to their new 8 speed.

I have this reply from Century Transmission :
Our Stg 5 4L80 can handle up to 2500+ hp. Our best (Stg 2) 6L80 is rated to 1100 rwhp.

Our sponsor Jake Performance is widely considered to build the best 4L80E anywhere and at a very reasonable price. Why not contact them.

Contact jakes for sure. I went with their stage 5 4l80 with their triple disk converter, and it will hold anything I can throw at it. Awesome people to deal with. They are out of Texas and I ordered all the way from CT without one hiccup at all! Call them and you won't be disappointed!
