The transmission is factory rated for just under 300TQ, which adding a TT kit will push that well beyond. Now many have had some success with adjusting the transmission lines via Uprev and staying out of 5/6/7 gears. Now I hear F.I. is finishing up their built transmission. ![]()

They did the first startup of the 7AT with upgraded transmission today. Car should be on the dyno very soon. Look for updates on the F.I. Facebook or Instagram page, or here also ![]()

I personally think the torque converter and drive plates are the weakest parts. Besides that the planetary gears inside and the internal bands should hold pretty hefty horsepower and torque. It is basically the same Jatco 7AT used on the Infiniti QX80 and the Nissan Patrol that has a 8000 lbs towing capacity, Also, modifying the valve body with the Transco kit will absolutely help in shifting speed and response.

Fast Intentions has been working on a 7at upgrade which should be ready soon from what I hear.

Bob, it was very nice meeting you and Amy on Sunday and again on Monday at the shop. I 100% agree with your sentiments on the Motor4Toys car show. There were some amazing vehicles on display and a great community of people there. Yes, I did get some seat time on Sunday after the car show, but I had very few opportunities to let her stretch her legs. Of the few times I was able to, she did not disappoint.
I will share my first boosted noob moment here so enjoy all ![]() After lunch we left the parking lot and after getting stuck at a light right outside, I wanted to catch up to Tony's GTR, all of a sudden there was a total loss of power. I came off the gas, coasted a little bit got on it again and then again no power when I applied the throttle. Boosted noob fail number 1, remember to take the car out of valet mode. Let's just say Tony, Danny and Kevin had a good laugh; as did I. Although maybe I can blame it on the jet lag :P After picking it up Monday, I had hoped I could get out of Simi Valley soon enough to avoid traffic. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Spent the next 2 hours in traffic. And although I couldn't fully enjoy the ride home, the car ran perfectly and the new SpecialtyZ clutch worked like a champ and wasn't at all cumbersome in the 2 hour stop and go traffic. Although I would have preferred to find out how nicely the clutch worked another way LOL. As soon as I get a chance to take her out, I will def be updating here. Thanks again to Tony, Danny, the entire F.I. crew and Seb at SoecialtyZ for making my car exactly what it should be.

The G community should also be getting excited about this kit as well, there just happens to be one sitting at the shop now...

Yup, I think it's good to have quality choices....especially when one of them is Fast Intentions!

Ok, just took the sister for a ride around the town, these were her first words: "that is just retarded!" There was also an "oh my god" after lighting up the wheels in 2nd and not letting off until I got to 4th. Seal of approval from the sister, check. Many more thank you's to follow F.I.
