Re: Supercharge ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> are you kidding? of course it will void your warrantee!
how much you'd have to replace depends on how much boost you want to make, although anything that makes big power is going to kill the stock internals. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Before you asked this question, what mods did you think would void a warranty?
Just curious.

Re: Supercharge ? Let me try to give you a semi-helpful reply. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
If you get someting like the ATI kit and you are willing to ****** the parts off and replace it with the stock pieces if you need major warranty work, you may get by.
But, then again... if you get a mild SC kit, you may make it last three years anyway. (I call mild in the 390 to 420 RWHP range.)
If your dealer's shop is cool, they might not even care. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Supercharge ? I agree with the funny doo-doo part yeag that will void it quick. A supercharger is putting alot of pressure in there and if the tuning isn't right could end up damaging things. Like Black LS1 TA said just keep it fairly mild for now and you should not have any problems. I love mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
