Another Dead End 
I was given the idea to call the major shops in the Dallas area to check customer records. After inspecting the car further I recognized the brand name of some parts that are local to where the car was purchased. When I called the shop, they told me "We do too many cars to keep any records of cars or customers...We just do too many." 
Wow, even GM can keep track of what cars they work on, but this shop does too many? I am truly impressed. No help there. I guess I won't order parts from there, they are probably too busy to help.

From: Your Reality Check Bounced...
Bring it down to MTI...from my PERSONAL experience with my LS1 they'll get ya runnin top notch. The stumble is more than likely from a shitty tune for the cam, the miss...hell unfortunatly that could be dozens of things. I'd pull plugs immediatly to check for anything out of the ordinary, and probably do a compression check while I was at it. Once you're sure you've got good compression and all the plugs were clean you could probably breath a lil easier w/knowing you've got a good motor.
Sounds like someone has definatly put that motor through some hard times. Good luck my friend!!
