How to build a decent c6 for a 460?

How do you guys build a c6 to handle 600 hp?
My auto has been rebuilt several times by different people and it keeps shi#ing itself.
It dieded again yesterday, it has lost 2nd gear, and the auto guy thinks it may have burnt the band out, he
will be tearing it down later in the week. It has only done approx 250 klms and has been breathing heavy (blowing oil out the breather) since it was built.
The car weighs approx 4000 lbs the engine should make approx 620 hp but is rather tourquey.
The auto has a 3800 stall convertor (thats where the cam starts to work) and is shifted at 7000 rpm.
The auto has a tcifull manual, reverse pattern, trans brake valve body.
it has been machined to fit extra clutches where possible.
One of the clutch drums (I think high reverse) has a small hole in it to stop it being centrifically applied, which in the past would melt the clutch pack together.
It uses dexron 3 oil.
It runs two trans cooler, one of them has a fan on it, and the operating temps gets up to 190-210 degrees.

Any ideas or help appreciated.

Mick
ps I'm from Australia so I can not easily use any of your trans guys, just need ideas for mine.
