The fact that VAST is backing up their work with a no-questions asked warranty for one year speaks
leaps and bounds over other competitors.
Their reputation has always been solid - the fact that they even took the time and effort on the aging tip platform says a lot about their dedication.
Kudos VAST. If I ever go Stage 3, you guys are it.

Less lag time between shifts and more forceful too..thus the clutch packs don't have
time to slip as much as one clutch pack is phased in and the other is phased out. Kind of like riding the clutch to much on a manual between shifts - which the driver controls, but in an automatic this is controlled via the TCU and valve body.

They appear to be saying lots of things, but that doesn't make them true.
I was just asking for some positive details about what they're offering.
Having a great warranty doesn't guarantee a great experience: I may not have to pay anything extra in repairs, but my time would still be gone. Not trying to be negative, just explaining why I'm not convinced.

Are you talking about GIAC or VAST, because that's what the GIAC unit is supposed to do:
