My friend had his Level 10 transmission fail at just over 500whp and less than a month of driving.. They also recommended no transmission cooler as their trans is "bulletproof" and here he is without a driving car.
Fast intentions does build transmissions and their reputation proceeds them.

I've learned that cutting corners will cost you way more in the long run. Just do it right the first time with the right shop and you will be better off in the long run

I just gave FI a call and asked about their 7 AT rebuilds...he said they only do that WITH their Twin Turbo package. If not, then they won't do it. They contract out to a local shop to do it for them but ONLY WITH their TT package.
So he recommended me to level 10 straight away lol, I was like uhhh...sir I heard people saying horror stories come from there but he said nah they for one, order the Flex Billet Plates from FI at times, and two, they are the best around as far as he knows when it comes to Automatic Transmission rebuilds.
I told him oh okay well they also send out the parts to the customer if they wanted to and they can either put it in themselves or have a professional aftermarket shop install it.
He said he was very surprised that they even do that because even FI said they will not touch in putting in transmissions for cars because he said too many things could go wrong.
Your tuner probably didn't have a masters' in Computer Science and prooobably wasn't titled a Master Tuner from ECUtek, haha or was he? O_O
My tuner is giving me 200% support and is willing to drive to my area (about an hour away for him) to tune the car, fine tune it, and make it close to perfect after we get the vehicle running.
He wants me to data log it weekly for him so we can fine-tune it over time.
Also he has a Masters' in Computer Science & just recently became a Master Tuner by ECUtek.
He takes a ton of pride in his customers and even though he is new to the tuning world, I have ton of faith that he will do really well with how he treats his customers (me being one of them), xD
I can always ask Seb for a 2nd opinion if anything as well since I know he is pretty much 6 hours away from me (driving). I'm in good hands both ways
