Default 2002 c5 auto 525 whp trans upgrade to rpm or??

Trying to decide what I should do by an RPM transmission or take my transmission to a shop and have them build it. And another two weeks I will be right around 600 hp to the rear wheel. Worried about the stock transmission although I have no issues at all with that for the last year I’ve been driving at 525 hp at the wheel. My rear is 315 upgrading to 342. So RPM or have mine built. What do you think??

I built my own with pretty much all the parts those companies use, a FTI stall converter, trans/diff brace, PFADT diff mount, new diff shafts, clutches and seals. Cost me just under $5K. At least I know what I have and that it should be good. I also have a 402 with induction but no clue what its putting down. I figured at least 650 at wheels.
