Come in man... Time to face facts that you did all your mods wrong which led to it blowing up. Who tells a tuner to install a blower on a LS1 with milled heads, flycut pustons, and HUGE N/A cam. We warned u it was not going to work. You told us that Josh said it would work. Haha. See where that got you ?
TrueStreet is a fantastic tuner and Sean Burt works there who did my heads, cam, long tube setup 8.5 yrs ago. Been running perfect ever since. Sean Burt is also an instructor for HP tuners. He knows how to tune these cars. He has been since the early 90's.

You still blame TrueStreet for your mistake ? You never did your homework on this. You never asked on here what would happen if you put a blower on your setup. You took an unknown blower to the tuner and ordered him to put it on. Thats asking for trouble.

Sean Burt at Truestreet rebuilt my transmission and did tuning... He does all the work himself, unlike 21st Century and others who farm out their transsmission work to a 3rd party assembly line company. Sean knows every nut and bolt on our Corvettes.. Two Thumbs up

Do your searching and reading, ultimately it comes down to what you're looking for out of your car.
In my actual experience:
21st builds cars that last long because Matt is an excellent (and very safe) tuner, in fact he's one of the best in DFW. John (the owner) is a stand up guy, and he goes out of his way to help his customers. The excellent customer service and straight shooting keeps people coming back.
Quality has excellent workmanship, excellent tuning. They put out fast cars and they know what they are doing, they are A+++.
AMP in Arlington has Sam Miller, search his name here and on LS1tech..that alone should send you there. Sam is considered by most of the fast LS owners to be one of the best if not the best LS tuner around. AMP puts out very fast (1,xxxwhp) cars that live and continue to live.
True Streets shouldn't honestly be on your list if you're planning to do F.I. If you're not looking to do FI and are looking to stay around 5xxwhp n/a they are fine as evident by the many cars they've put out that are still alive. I don't know of anyone that has a +600whp FI TS car that is happy but I do know a bunch of 500whp n/a people that are.

You forget that Sean built and tuned the turbos on the MiniVette. Ask around before you reply. Sean has a lot of experience with everything. Even old carb setups. He just base tuned Rons 67 supercharged Chevelle to over 1000 hp. He says there is a lot more in it but its safe to race this weekend.

Arash's car is a single turbo btw and while one of his failures was because of a bad machine job the point is that neither car has been alive long enough to make any judgement about how good the tune is in terms of longevity. I didn't forget anything, I just don't think that it's a good example to use.
p.s. My friend Matt's GTO (N2O car) is/was forever in and out of that shop with tune issues. Jeff's 5.0 had issue after issue and went through a few engines (I'll post the video of it blowing up on the dyno when I get home). David's car was released to him SEVERAL times with overheating issues after the blower install. He also had engine damage and his car spent more time at TS than it did at home (I know because we were neighbors). There's a reason FI Mustang guys have started going to HPP instead.

Sooo your basis for your opinion on longevity is Arash's car which has legitimately been down more than it's been up for one reason or another (engine/trans) since I've been known him (4yrs or so at this point) and a Chevelle that JUST got finished.
