Default You get what you pay for

I have a friend who recently finished his fully built Supra. He is stationed in another state away from his car. He figured the shop doing the work to his car could tune the car being they have a good name. The result was melted valve reliefs, blown head gasket, pitting in combustion chambers of brand new ported polished head, etc. The motor is going to be fixed and I will be flying out there to retune his car. Point being. Some of us may be more expensive than others but there is a reason. Below/Attached is screen shots of the calibration I pulled off his AEM EMS this morning
