Default OK, socal hoonigans let's talk tuners

OK, SoCal hoonigans & street peeps, let's talk tuners: worst, sort of OK, better than just OK, & best experiences.
I have 2 cars, '87 turbo Buick with bolt-ons & tune, & '09 Cad CTS-V with Hennessey V700 package, plus more mods.
I know about the turbo Buick tuners, but let's hear about the LS tuners, especially the CTS-V's, '09 & up:
Many thanks in advance for your participation.

I am really surprised that you are able to get away with advertising on here without being a site sponsor. Unfair to the ones who actually pay to do what you are doing on your own for free. Titan must be MIA.

I gave Izzy a $ 350.00 deposit so that Tom could order the necessary parts & Izzy asked me if I wanted a receipt & I said yes. Tom told me maybe middle of the next week (06-23-14 thru 06-29-14) they could do the installation of a smaller upper pulley, idler, & belt, & a new tune.
I called Tom on Monday, 06-24-14 to see if he had ordered the parts & was put on “full mail box”. I called Tom on Tuesday, 06-25-14 and again was put on “full mail box”. I called Tom 0n Wed, on 06-26-14 and was told by Tom “waiting on parts, maybe install next week”. I called Tom on 07-02-14 and received the infamous “mail box full”. I called Izzy on Wed, 07-03-14 and was told that Tom was on vacation for a week in Colorado, & that Tom would be back on Mon, 07-07-14. I asked Izzy if my parts were in and he said that he was pretty sure that they were in the warehouse. I told him that I would like to know for sure and he said that they were still waiting on the belt. I called Tom on Tuesday, 07-08-14, and again was put on “mail box full” so I drove over there to see him and was told that they were waiting on the belt. I told Tom at that time that I would like the parts to take elsewhere or my money back, and that I would accept $325 of the original $350 & they could keep $25 for re-shelving.
I called Tom on Fri, 07-11-14, and he told me that he would find out what’s going on and call me back that day.
Today is Thurs, 07-17-41, and I am still waiting on that call. I called both Tom & Izzy this AM, and received the infamous “mailbox full. Click”. Where do I initiate/file a “small claims court”?.
I am off to see Ryne at CMS soon.
Sorry about the bad luck that you had there. The good thing about going to CMS is that Ryne won't do that to you and he is a LS1Tech sponsor.
