Got a chance to visit Level 10 while visiting family in NY. They have a pretty nice shop and are very welcoming. Pat (the owner) came out from the back when he heard I was there and gave me a big hug. It was pretty funny.

They are working through the issues, replaced the internals (again), and are tuning it as well to make sure everything holds. The issue was the tuning difference between the ECU and TCM. The ECU was tuned great for the VQ but did not take into account the 7A/T. This caused the transmission to think it was at idle and shift points would destroy the internals at heavy throttle.

They are currently in the process of fixing the tune and should have it shipped back pretty soon. Even after the tune they are going to take it apart again and double check everything. There customer service is pretty outstanding. I cannot wait to have the G back on the street/track.

Thanks Phil!

Level 10 is trying to get the perfect tune for the G and will be using the tune as a base for FI VQs.

Tune is fixed through Level 10. They have the ECU and TCM talking to eachother like best friends and it is delivering power like it should. They are buttoning stuff up and should be sending it back to me soon. I cannot wait! I need some seat time to prep for the track again.

Did the tranny issue get sorted out? My Stillen SC is being installed now on my x 7AT and my valve body is at level 10.

The tune got figured out and fixed as well as the internals. They have been back and forth with my tuner here and should be wrapping up today. The car will be on the way home this week (fingers crossed). I'll have to write up a review when I get it back.

Nothing yet, there was a little more tweaking on the tune. Hopefully it'll be here soon!

Finally got her back! The weather has been bad so I have not been able to test out the transmission. Will review as soon as possible.

Weather cleared up a little yesterday afternoon and got to do a couple of pulls. Amazing response and it pulls hard consistently. Will do more and take video later.

Got to take her out to the "Driveway" road course in Austin and was killing it. The shift points were super firm and held perfectly. Feeling the power deliver to the ground was awesome!

Props to Level 10 for doing amazing work and getting my issues sorted out!
