I have only heard of 2 transmissions blowing up like that in the burnout box and it's when making a shift. It could be something tuning related due to the torque management system .

Nothing is guaranteed at that power level...even a 4l80.

What did GM get wrong with the A8? The converter shudder is not transmission related. It is related to the stock TCM tuning. Do you blame a tr6060 when a clutch fails?
Many company’s make 4l80’s with warranty’s at 1500hp
