Former Site Sponsor TTP Out of Business
The owner Matt hasn't been active on any internet forum for over 2 years and now they are officially done. I first read the story here: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/easter...rformance.html
What I read quickly was after they moved to their new shop their customer service went down the drain and their racecar the "Kerminator" was destroyed on one of it's first passes with a new setup. My car got it's first tune by him and he seemed like a cool guy. It's a shame, but from what I hear he is now working for ECS in cream ridge.

Customer service was horrible from the beginning. He was a nice guy, but boy he had no idea how to run a successful business.

Wasn't that place always changing locations? Never dealt with them, but I thought that was kind of odd.

I thought this is the place the club went to for two years on a tune-day kind of thing. The TTP family turned it into a sort of BBQ while folks were there, and the comments afterward were positive.

Well I suppose we don't have to worry about them anymore! Hell I had to go out of state to PA to get any decent work done.

Yes, they kept outgrowing shops and moving into larger ones.

Yea, we did dyno days at TTP 3 or 4 years in a row, and always had a good turnout and we were fed really well by TTPMom and TTPGranny  Matt was always good to the club when they were sponsors.
Just like any other business, some people have had great dealings with them, others were far from satisfied with their work or service.

And for the most part, people are more vocal when they are dissatisfied, then when they are pleased.

LOL well if you dealt with real performance shops run by real professionals, then you would know the difference.. If you are kid, who liked to hang out and didn't mind so much the BS that you were fed, the waiting, the return trips because something wasn't done right the first time, the money you gave them for your parts but was spent on other peoples part because they couldn't manage their accounts..then you may have had great dealings with them.

Aren't they the ones who kicked Mike's car out of their shop because they were hosting a Corvette event?
