I think both have gone through several iterations of
design and you'll find people who like or hate either
one. QTP however is a sponsor and much more units
on the street I believe. I have a McCord that's given
me no trouble so far and seems solid enough. The
thing that seems to be the problem, at least in the
past, has been what's -between- the motor and
valve - gears that break/strip or screws that come
loose, etc.

You should search up some of the numerous cutout
threads that have gone by, before. Lots of opinions
there, while you're waiting for this thread to populate.

Either one is fine - if you're concerned with how long it'll last, get the one with the longest warranty.

QTP for sure. I had two McCords on my vette and they were fine for about 2 months...from then on they were nothing but trouble. Now they aren't even on my car anymore.

The QTP piece on my camaro is built better...hasn't show any signs of failure in 6 months.
