Warning: my buddy's 5.0 Coyote blew up after a cheap tune

We were at the track in Bakersfield last month, and he was bragging about his new $200 handheld tuner from some online shop. He said 'it adds 50 horsepower easy, no need for a dyno.' Third pass, the engine started knocking hard and we found a hole in the block. It ran fine for a week before it let go. Anyone know a good shop in SoCal for a proper rebuild and tune?

Cheap tunes are just expensive engine removal services. Hope his wallet is ready for that proper rebuild.

My Coyote's been happy with a local shop's dyno tune for years.
