    Kirk @ Vector Motorsports will be tuning for my new combo. I chose them in the very begining because of reputation and trans tuning ability also.

    I used Vector with my TBSS and was very happy. I realize that Chris has irked many of folks over the years with the way he comes across over the net. I've seen it in the GP forums as well as the TBSS community. Both times I went to Vector I dealt with Kirk, and he is a very nice and intelligent guy that knows his shit.

    I've heard good things coming out of Livernois, but again had some bad press early on in my TBSS days.

    New Era is completely new to me that I haven't heard anything about.

    Tune Time would definately be an option if they were closer, as Matt has always been helpful.

    I chose Vector because of the TCM tune (in the beginning they were one of the few who could tune the TCM) and the FXP system which allows a tune to be done remotely.

    He has not been an employee since Fall of 2008. Sometimes things happen that you are not aware of. It is very difficult to micro-manage a company when you are caught up in the day to day issues and development it demands.

    I too have dealt with Kirk in the past and he has always came through. A great guy to do business with.
