I went with the 80 for its factory durability and because I plan to add a cam later on and already have a nitrous kit to put on so I figured why chance it with a 60/65? Plus it's the trans that came gm installed behind this engine in the first place.
Oh yeah, if the transmission will stay stock-ish, 80 all the way. I had to have a built transmission either way and the price difference for a 750 horse/torque 65E was less than a comparable 80E, so for me the built 65E was the way to go. The guys at Monster Transmission are great to work with if you ever need parts by the way. I've had three of their transmission in three different vehicles and never one issue with them.
