PS Those used heads didn't need to be gone over or cleaned up.
PPS You took your car to have work done to a shop where the shop owner's car ran 12.5s on motor and 11.3s on the hit with a 396 H/C LS1 stroker at his own track rental. Oh and let's not forget it dynoed a whopping 350 to the wheels. That should have clued you in.
PPPS If that shop was a sponsor on this site, those posts would also have been deleted.

Don't mean to interupt Mr. Drunken on his rant and rave 
but what exactly does it mean when a motor is M-I-L-K, Milk by definition can be many things like: a white nutritious liquid secreted by mammals and used as food by human beings or in your case maybe: exploit as much as possible; "I am milking this for all it's worth" or To take full advantage of a profitable situation often without regard to the interests of others. These are all web definitions look it up.... might be a small point in all this but reading what you wrote to me says your motor was smooth and running nice. 
, just here lurking in the background don't mind me. 
I know this might be a little---- 
---- but someone had to say it....

Also.. Pitbull had claimed his transmission was messed up and thats why it rain a shitty time.
Anyways. I am not gonna keep bashing the company (if thats what you want to call it).

I would sue them. Get a full list of what is wrong with the car at 1-2 different speed shops, and make full lists. What the parts costed you AND labor. Talk to a lawyer. They will probably be in a pinch, and end up refunding you quite a bit. I mean, if they claim to have done something, you paid for it, and they didn't, then you do need to take action against them.
You also might want to provide before and after pictures of the car's hood and strut tower if you have them.

TheBlackMamba.. you are right.
I am considering this course of action since the company has stuped to very low levels and has gone so far as being childish with their lies.
I am going to contact a lawyer as soon as the car gets back together. One nightmare at a time.

I hate to say this, but what in the hell were you thinking using a shop called "Pitbull Performance?" That just sounds like some low rent jack leg bullshit to me.. I know how it feels to get screwed and ripped off by a performance shop and you should definitely take legal action if possible. Goodluck!

Oh yeah, do you own a shop? At least he had the ***** to actually go ahead with his dream and open one. lol its stock.. funny you should mention it.. do I own a shop? No. Why would I? I am not a mechanic. But from the likes of this gentleman's work.. either is he.
As for females not knowing what they are doing.. I never said that... NIKOLE.
