I believe Lethal Racing closed doors. Their site now redirects to "powerhouse performance" which at least has camshafts with the same names as Lethal's so I'm guess they were either absorbed, changed names, and/or moved.

Yes they did. I am one of the people that they screwed out of a small fortune on my build. I tried to make my points here on the forums but was shutdown every time I posted something about my ordeal with them. They billed me for parts that they did not install and they tuned my car so aggressive that a piston blew. It was an awful experience. I drove from Tennessee to do business with them and due to medical issues and other issues was not in a good position to be able to take them to court. Now I see they have opened up under a new name. Unfortunately same ownership. Its sad that people can do these things to honest guys just trying to enjoy a hobby. I ended up selling my car altogether and will likely never be in a position to own another one.

Then, find a good tuner, someone who's been around a long while. They are out there. Convenience may matter to you, but not to your wallet unless you have unlimited money to spend. After all, who locked your car's computer so that it can't be tuned?

Seems to me if a biz closes due to the kind of reasons stated, and reopens under a different name, that is not the place you want to go. I'm just saying if you have to bite the bullet and get another computer to tune, and have tuned properly so that you don't have an issue like NSANE, it may work out to be less costly all around. But especially to you. Then, find a good tuner, someone who's been around a long while. They are out there.

It has been a little over 3 years. I can tell you volumes about all of the **** poor workmanship and just plain theft that took place in my build from putting the wrong reluctor wheel in the motor to charging me for pistons that were not the same as the one that I bought to keeping my car for a year before getting it back to me and strong arming me for payment before they would bring it back. They also installed a prototype not even tested converter for the reluctor wheel that was faulty. It was a complete and utter rip off. I figured it up one day to the tune of about 15 thousand dollars and over a year without my car while I underwent two heart operations all the while not a regret in the world expressed by any of the people in the shop or the owner. Never a penny offered to help with the expense of fixing all of their shoddy workmanship and theft. Worst mistake I have ever made in my entire life and at the time they were recommended as an installer by a very reputable and sought after supercharger and performance builder. They never stepped in to help either. Truly expensive lesson that I learned very well.

There is more than one Lethal.
Could you guys clarify which one you are speaking of? Location?

There are two other Lethal Performance shops: 1 in San Antonio and 1 in Wellington Florida. Seem to both be open; pretty sure the one in San Antonio is.
