so i drove mine today. all i can really say is, WOW!!!!! this is just preliminary results. i still need some track time. i drove it about 100+ miles today. the thing shifts so fast and smooth its like one constant speed just different sounds of the engine. and at wot it just SHIFTS not hard not snappy just click "wow was that a shift" (best way i can describe it) no pause and wham like the old one did. the downshifts.....well, i didn't even know it downshifted. if it even did. i was doing about 65mph and smashed it, and it felt like the tcc unlocked and it just pulled and pulled and pulled. all in all so far i'm loving it. getting on it in 95* with 99% humidity the trans would idle about 160 and cruise at about 145-155 when i got on it from 65 to 110 it may have went up 1* from cruise temp. the tonight at cruise it was at 118* that's going through the radiator cooler and the big *** tru cool.

Ya, I remember reading that thread & every post in it. I'm not gonna guess/ speculate, & I'm not saying if that's your friend, that what he said did or didn't happen.
If I have them build me a trans to a Level 4 or 5, & it breaks, w/. my mods I have planned, the only other option is a Level 7. Beyond the strongest 4L60E they make (L7), the 4L80E is all that's left. I would hope that after following what they recommend for me, & I have no issues. In my older truck, like many of us, I took out 2 built 60E's. It could've been the ultra firm shifts the 1 time, but other factors may've played a part.
Bottom line: No matter who builds a tranny for me, in the event it breaks, & I'm truthful, then I expect fairness in return. I don't like to play games.
