Default about to buy new tranny, PLEASE READ and reply

Ok, changing shifter solenoids didn't work, so I'm going to have my tranny built by a local shop. As some of you may know I plan on EVENTUALLY pushing about 600+rwhp. Is there someone out there that can build a reliable 4L60E, and stand behind their work with some kind of warranty that will put up with this much power? I want to stay with the 4L60E for the OD factor. Do you think going with a local guy I personally don't know much about, but others are running similar setups to my current one, pulling 11.7's on Slicks and their trannies are still holding up. What do you guys think? Please post away. Thanks.

My stocker is stillalive after a few 11.4-11.5's and stabbing 1.6 60', but soon it too will retire. I am looking at 4L80E option, or the Cmotorsports----------->
level 3 of course!

I was looking at their transmissions too, as I think mine is starting to go. I don't want to just go in under warranty...I'm sure
1.) they'd deny it because of my converter and
2.) it would just break again.

I did some searching over at camaroz28.com too, and found the company to be VERY highly regarded over there. I think I'm going to give them a call monday and see what they have to offer.
