Reflash Tuning?

Ive heard lots about both Westers and Vectors ECU tuning, for both the auto and manual. I have two questions though. The first concerning the tuning, which one is better? Customer satisfaction, hp, torque, and speed of work. Also is it true even for manuals that if you pull on the e-brake 1 click that you take off traction control?

Manuals don't have TC just the AT's. Not sure about the tunes but I myself want to get it done.

I know on my Ion I have traction control on my manual and I have a swicth on my dash to disable it. But I have a quick question about the tune, are the model specfic or are they for all 2.4's Cobalts. HHR's, and Ion's?

I think it is all since we are all the same engine LE5.

I think the hhr and the cobalt tune would be different because of the weight differences and sizes of the vehicles. the hhr would probably need more torq becasue it has a higher drag. And other various little stuff like that.

I want to know which one is better also. We need some feedback from people who have had it done.

The canned tunes from Vector and Westers do not touch the TC on Autos

Vector was $400 and I am loving it. 10hp+ increase with a redline increase and better MPG. Definatly made my money back from the tune so far.
