They are located in Oceanside, I have been to the shop a few times, I've even got the hi-flow rails on my black TA. They seem to have alot going on, but definately know what they are talking about. Maybe you can call them and get a partial refund, or get some better parts, bigger cam, SOMETHING, I'm sure they cant be sticking it to you that badly and get away with it... hell I'd go drive to their shop and tell them they need to make right your situation.

I've seen a few of their engines on a couple of sand rails in Glamis... I remember one in particular, an LS1 408 twin turbo crankin out over 1100 hp.. After watching it spew a rooster tail of sand about 300 ft, I can vouch for some of their work, however none personally..

That was not a "Turn Key Engine Supply" engine.... They don't offer a 408 twin turbo package.

Well i talked to one of there representatives and they told me there was basically nothing they could do because there was not mechanically wrong with the motor and that keep saying they dyno tested free of all accessories and used speed density tuning and thats why they got the hp # they did I didn't argue i just expressed my disatisfaction and i will see what happens and talk with my attorney. I asked for what parts were used and its basically an ls6 block with ls1 heads 241 castings and ls6 intake with a double roller timing chain and GM HotCam, ls6 blue springs and arp connecting rod bolts and hardened pushrods. No wonder my car kept dyin on me before the tune and that made me more surprised seeing the 315 hp #
