Tom may never read this but I'm posting just for documentation purposes. Had the dealership remove mine this past Tuesday (10/23/07) and overnighted it to Level 10. Level 10 did the valve body modification Wednesday (10/24/07) and overnighted the valve body to the dealership per my instruction. The dealership received it on 10/25/07 but didn't finish until 10/26/07 (Today). So it is possible to have it completed in a 3 day period.

I asked the service tech was there any problem and did the mechanic test drive it. He looked worried and said the mechanic thought the 1st to 2nd shift was harsh. I smiled and said, 'Excellent'. We laughed but I think his was a nervous laugh. I 'test drove' my car to a dyno shop along streets and highway routes. It feels absolutely Fantastic! Shift are prompt, firm and quick in all gears. Shifts are even instant at part throttle, cruising speed. Just the way I wanted it. I am hoping for at least a 50-75lb-ft of torque and horsepower increase from the other runs I have done on the dyno, between shifts.

Is it worth the cost? Nope! Just get a tranny cooler installed if you want to try to preserve your tranny. It IS worth the cost personally for me though since I have a very high value for instant shifts. I also have no intention on every changing this tranny no matter what I throw at it and I personally believe this to be a critical factor to this. I hate to be subjective on these things but I currently have no data to show how it shifts. It sucks so here I stand. It is pouring down raining at the track and I had problems on the dyno so nothing to show. That is all for now.
