Thank god for this forum's history. Last week I needed to replace the knock sensors and since the car has much history their, I almost took it back to the same shop. I came back here and realized what crap I went through. Given that 3 shops have worked on the car, I don't trust anyone anymore, so I did the work myself.
Regarding the clutch back then - this shop replaced the clutch, pp, and flywheel. I asked if they balanced the new flywheel and they said "probably, we usually do, most of the time...". I asked for proof, a bill from the vendor who balanced it. They could not produce one and admitted it probably wasn't balanced. They no longer had the old parts. At this point, I cut bait with this shop. I was told the flywheel on a LS1 is balanced to that specific engine. If that's the case then there was nothing I could do in terms of knowing weight sizes or their location for the current or future flywheels.
As far as the knock/tune/RWHP issue. I'm not a tuner, the shop uses the LS1Edit software, not myself. I had no way to answer detailed questions on settings,. I did find the tuner guy recommended in this thread. He got the car running better back in 2006. I've driven the car very little since then.

I still have the car. LilJay can't you read? I never said anything about being "smart". I laid out the situation, listed the parts installed, asked for and got some great advice.
