If it has a LSx block and ls7 heads. There was only one shop who built this. It's wait4me performance.
Jesse bubb. Google it you might want to sell the car. One pull on my dyno with my laptop I can tell you everything about your car.

Must have been a colorblind tech that did the "certified inspection".
See if you can't get a brand new LSA out of the deal.
If you complain enough or talk about getting a lawyer involved I bet they can swing an engine for you.

It sounds like you might need to check your coolant levels...

Damn, that car seems like a nightmare. I wonder if the original owner could get in trouble for selling that pos to the dealer in that shape. Show that thread to the dealer and get your money back.

Appearantly no one caught all the "goodness" going on with this car. I flew to New Orleans and inspected it before I drove it home. I noticed stock exhaust manifolds, stock blower, pretty much everything on top looks stock......I'm no expert mind you but I have dealt with a lot of modified cars and this engine is tightly squeezed and covered up…

Well thats good news. Get it over to Mike @ GForce and see whats going on. Good luck, hopefully everything works our for you. But I have to ask, since you have been driving how does the car feel? Run smooth? Seems like you should be able to tell if its a hack job.
