Default how much trans fluid?

i swapped my T-45 for cobra T-45 and from what i heard it needs almost 4 quarts of trans fluid, so i asked my friend(he swapped he's auto to 5 speed by himself) and he said that i should pour it in until i see it in the shifter boot. so i poured 4 out and it wasn't anywhere near, then i bought 2 more quarts and poured them in. so now i can barely see that there's some fluid through the shifter boot (in that little hole in there). then my other friend told me that it's obviously too much and i should pour some out otherwise i'll blow a seal out.
so what should i do? level it with the top bolt on a side of the trans?

oh wow, thanks
i'm assuming regular t-45 should have the same amount as cobra t-45
in specs it says that they're known to grind when cold, mine doesn't. feels like it's freshly rebuilt, love the swap
