It may have all been a misunderstanding however neither one of us was not willing to take that chance. I never intended to mention this on this on C5 but after reading this thread I felt I needed to add another opinion.
Hi Marvin:

You left out a few details. Marvin and Brandon were assigned testing roles with my company. Marvin to test LLT programming, and Brandon to test LLT headers and tuning. First, there was some confusion over the test schedule, which I refused to commit to until Vince returned from vacation. I also refused to commit to a location for the same reason. Scheduling the header install and dyno sessions for 2 cars was difficult, since I had not met or spoken with either of them, and had no idea what their individual schedules looked like. At one point, I thought I had a good date for the header install, but we got behind on an in house project and postponed. Vince had still not returned by this time, so the only point of an early install was to make time for tuning both cars same day. Nevertheless, this upset Brandon, who managed to get the impression that the headers were "promised" to him, and therefore belonged to him. At that point, he wanted to pick the headers up and install them at home. I refused. Then, when he discovered that I had spoken to Marvin about the headers, he became further upset, and stated that we were dealing under the table with HIS headers. The point of involving Marvin was to ensure that we had a backup in case Brandon could not follow through with testing. This all came out on the day that we were scheduled to meet with them to discuss the process in more detail and finalize their schedules. I do believe, however, that the majority of the misunderstanding was with Brandon. After Brandon's email alleging "deceitful" and "deceptive" business practices, I shut the program down and handed it over to our attorney. Brandon then agreed to a misunderstanding, but I've learned recently that he's contacted several of my partners, including Vince, Nick, and members of this forum, using the same damaging language from his previous emails.

Let's get something straight, fellas - this is my business. My livelihood. I will not tolerate half-baked accusations. Period. Bad reviews are fine, that's business. I've made my fair share of mistakes, and will probably make others. If I'm at fault, I will always do my best to make it right. But potentially damaging accusations based purely on your opinion of the situation will be met with unsympathetic litigation. End of conversation.

Mr. Kent Ray (mrray13) is scheduled to arrive in Indy the morning of the 24th to test our ARH/Trifecta package. Install and dyno sessions will be conducted at Cozzolino Motorsports. Vince will be working with us that day, and we hope to have Kent dialed in and driving home by 2-3pm that afternoon. I've started a fresh thread to cover the project, and look forward to sharing the process with the community. This should generate plenty of data to help everyone better understand the tuning process and what Vince is capable of doing with the software.

- Nate
