6.2 exceeds 6l80 max torque spec?

[truckguy82]

Saw this post on another forum about how GM rates the 6l80e. Post was from 2010, but as far as I know it's the same tranny.

 

Maximum engine power: 469 bhp ( 349 kW )

Maximum engine torque: 439 lb-ft ( 595 Nm )

Maximum gearbox torque: 664 lb-ft ( 900 Nm )

 

So seeing as I have a '14 6.2 with 460ftlbs, and a 6 speed auto, is it exceeding the rated torque capacity stock?

 

Is this 6 speed any different than the 6 speed offered in the previous generation?
