There are ways of taming the 1-2 shift, if you have stock Servos laying around id try them.
Who tuned your truck?
Yea, I was surprised too that it stripped. Justin from Blackbear Performance tuned the truck for me.

They should check the line before pulling the pan as they may need to turn down the PCS some.
Will having them return the 1-2 accumulator back to stock hurt anything in terms of the transmissions strength and ability to handle the power from the charger? I appreciate your input.

no turning it down wont hurt anything....there are two ways of getting better shifts...1. turn up line pressures on stock tranny....2. put shift kit in(they are hard parts designed to run on stock tranny pressures)....the biggest problem you have is a 6.0l and a blower...doesnt matter how many times you put a shift kit in a stock tranny that combination will blow up eventually....best bet is to buy a built tranny, built for your power output in mind...

I had the transmission built to what would the equivelant of the flt lvl 5 transmission. I had to have it rebuilt a second time after this last mishap. Can the 4L65E just not take the power my trucks making? I only had about 3000 miles on the first build.

I did not see anything on what TC you had, but I had the similiar issues. After I rebuilt my 4L60 to a level 5.

My tires would want to turn like a stupid half a turn going from 1-2 shift. And this was driving slow & normal like 15-20 mph.

They checked the plate hole size.. tried the different springs, stock/corvette servos, retune and nothing. Just a truck that kicked like a mule- when I did not want it to.

What fixed ALLL of my headaches was going to a 10" TC with a 2800 stall. Best money I ever spent.
