After the 2nd death of 4L60E I had Rossler Transmissions rework my trans. Never had a problem after he rebuilt it. Carl does great transmission. I currently have his Level 4 Turbo 400. You might want to consider looking into the 400 he builds because IMO I have never owned or heard of anyone else out there that builds one that has lasted or held up to big power for any length of time. www.rosslertrans.com

100's of shops can build 400's to stand up to big power. That is a strong trans. And the reason you don't problems is b/c you ditched the 4l60E. I've seen good success with TransKing in Galveston and Century Automotive in stafford. I couldn't kill my th350 from transking.
