OTT or Intense

I hear only good things from Over the top performance. Put Intense has some very good stages. I was wondering what everyone thinks about Intense racing. and if I would be better off getting ott stage 1 or a stage from intense???

their tunes are not what they should be, please be very careful of Instense.

OTTP is an excellent company, and their tunes are worry free.

OTT makes top notch stuff, and being they design their parts with powell motorsports (the guys that built the time attack cobalt) it makes their parts more atractive. there are a few companies that attempt to transfer their knowledge of the grand prix 3800s/c to the cobalts and the results show that you cant do that.

not sure if thats sarcasm so ill explain my comment a little more. there are a few companies who used to base their buisness around the 3800 s/c, and they do have those cars figured out, what works and what doesnt. the cobalt comes along and they put some stage kits together around it, and as the kit itself is solid, the tuning isnt great and people have problems. it seems they are basing the tune around what works for a 3800 s/c, and as it makes power, the reliability doesnt seem to be there. a cast iron OHV v6 and an all aluminum DOHC 4 valve 4 cyl are completly different beasts.

just ordered parts from OTTP and it seems like great company. the guy called me on the phone, talked to me on AIM, and contacted me via email. i have not used any of their tunes but from my experience with the company and its employees i would imagine if anything went wrong they would stand behind their product 100% and take care of you.

OTT doesn't send you a canned tune. They tune to your personal car, including other mods, weather you're around mostly, etc..
