I don't care what shop you are, you tune enough cars and one is going to blow up on the dyno, thats a chance you take when you mod your car. Is it the shops responsibility to take precautions to prevent it, yes, but eventually it will happen.

And 8 pulls after another is nothing if everything is properly monitored, which i know they do.

I think Doc and the guys are great. I've never had a bad experince with them. I would recommend them for anyones car. Prices are what they are. You get what you pay for. And I really could have done so much more with my car if I had taken it to Doc. and had the tranny done right the first time.

I spent $2200 on an autotragic before. So that doesn't seem too high to me. Go to the shop. Talk with the guys there. If they can see the car and talk with you in person, things may turn out different price wise. If not. Mark @ EFI Alchemy has a really good reputation on fixing transmissions. You get what you pay for.
