QTP or McCord?
QTP or McCord???? Which power plate should I order? Does anyone know the differences between the two besides the QTP one being $40 more? I don't want to waste my money on the expensive one if it is the same thing but I also don't want to get what I pay for by getting the cheaper one. Any help here?? Thanks!!
Re: QTP or McCord???? Get the QTP, its well-built and has metal gears inside of it which will last longer. Barry is also very supportive of our members. I've got a 3.5" QTEC on my car and it works/seals great.

Re: QTP or McCord???? I understand that QTP is a sponsor and all but what am I getting for $40 more?? I just don't see the difference between the two. Just like if you buy tires from company A all your life but company B is cheaper. Same product but different price. Do you switch to company B or remain loyal?? If it is the same product then $40 could go towards another mod, you know what I'm saying? I wish both sites would tell you why theirs is better!! Would make it easier on me!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: QTP or McCord???? A friend of mine has a mccord and it sucks. Stripped the plastic gears twice.

Re: QTP or McCord???? The gears that keep it closed and open it. I know someone that had the mccord and during a wot run the gears broke and flapped loose, so after that the exhaust pressure would open it up even when u want it closed.

Re: QTP or McCord???? I had the McCord MPP2 and it lasted less than one week. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I have the QTEC and have had no problem with it. I have opened it over 500 times and it seals like day one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: QTP or McCord???? Yep, My McCord lasted less than a week before the exhaust heat just fried the gasket between the plates. Stripped gears, burned out motor.

Now I have a QTP which keeps on tick'in
