When this guy was at Accel -- the service and tech support there was HORRIBLE... Since he left there has been a vast improvement and it still sucks!
Sorry your buddy is having problems.
That's a Mr Gasket issue, they never put any money into it.
And I would have to argue that it still sucks, call the number now and Dave will answer almost every time.
Good luck as well, but depending on the motor mods drivability ain't going to be what it could be imo.

He's getting a timing variation, quoted from LS1tech: timing advances up to 45 degrees @3000 rpm even though timing table says 23 deg. Idle table set to 0 to rule out that table, crank trigger offset set correctly, need help thanks
Poor guy has had to rebuild the brand new motor once and blown a couple sets of head gaskets since. The original builder is a local old school drag race shop that hosed him pretty good with the whole build as well as having the car in his shop for over 4 years. If you knew what the guy spent at the original shop on this motor all of these vendor not delivering parts threads are a joke in comparison.
Hey guys just briefly spoke to my buddy today, said they found the issue. It was something to do with the dealer settings like Jody suggested.
Thanks again guys
I chased my tail on that one for a while because the config file you see was correct. I had no idea there was a hidden dealer file that over-rode that one...............

So did he, not many locals familair with this software. It only cost him a motor rebuild, 2 sets of head gaskets, many other issues and alot of headaches and $$$$
