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.

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.

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.

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!
