Sorry, had questions about the carb tune when I first posted, but got them resolved...

If I go with Jackson, I'll be using the TIY kit. From what I understand the Jackson and Kraftwerks kit are essentially the same, the major difference being a ribbed or cogged belt. The plus for the Kraftwerks is it can be driven if the belt snaps... The plus for the Jackson is I haven't read of many belts snapping, so I shouldn't worry too much about that. Has the belt issues with Kraftwerks been resolved? I have seen people blame poorly tensioned belts, but also the cog belt altogether... Either way, is this still happening a lot?

I really like the idea of going with what my local shop recommends, as they will be installing/tuning/maintaining it... But I can get a much better deal online, that includes exhaust, for much less... Only problem is finding an affordable, EXPERIENCED tuner...

To clarify what I meant about sketchy warranty situations... If I order online and have an issue, I have to call the company, ship out parts, argue about whether it was installed properly, yada yada yada.... If I buy from my local shop and have a problem, I take the car there and they deal with it. No phone tag, trips to UPS, etc...
