Century Transmission!!
I was told long ago, if you put a blower on a stock A6 (6L80), sooner or later the transmission will die. In my case, it took around 50K miles for the 2-3 shift to start acting weird. In the small world that it is, it turned out that Century Transmission is just a couple miles from my house outside of Houston. That's convenient!
We went for a drive, and Mike (the owner) the owner said that was a "flare", where it revs like it can't hold for a second. 2-3 pack was going.
We discussed, and I settled on their Super 6L80 Performance Overhaul. It is an seriously long list of replacement parts, including a billet shaft. Totaled out around $6K, with a warranty and a tune.
Now, I'm ready to up the horsepower. Well, except for the stock internal in the LS3 . . .
You won't find me writing a lot of endorsements, but I'll write this one. Mike and his team REALLY impressed me. Mike is clearly a VERY knowledgeable guy when it comes to transmissions, pristine shop, good communications, everything on time, and easy to work with.
Just some input for the team.

They do good work. Ronnie is a transmission genius. I'm within walking distance to their shop. They have told me the same thing about the transmission.

They did a 4L80 for me a few years and more than a hundred thousand miles ago. That transmission spent most of its miles behind a 700+hp TVS supercharged engine. It was also in a 5000# truck that went to the strip as well as doing a lot of towing. I remember the rebuild being done quickly and at a reasonable price. They will get all of my future business for auto trans rebuilds.
