The cam instal would for sure void it. Not sure about the gears. I really dont care too much of the warranty- I dont drive it much and They usually find some way to make you pay anyway. Main concearn is that its still fun to drive around town etc, not just whilke racing.

gears will also void the warranty because with the gears you will need a custom tune or handheld programmer for the speedo, and on the L99 shift points

you can disagree but im not entirely wrong. it is you that cant wrap your head around the fact that it is all relevant. i have cartek and ttp in my backyard its not our tunes. id love to hear these "PROPER supporting mods" which improve drivability. its all about trade offs kid.

the sponsor did provide feedback which i appreciate stating that the new more powerful computer helps combat the issues i have brought up.
So you think an auto car with a small cam like a TR224 with a stall and supporting mods properly tuned will not drive damn near stock? Wow really? Okay buddy

what do these "supporting mods" have anything to do with what we are talking about?

TR224 like stock all in the tune. thats bs. it wont drive like stock.

like the guys with MS3 that says its like stock, haha helen keller would call bs on that. drivable and like stock are two VERY different things.
I hate to bust your bubble but it is all in the tune, and sounds like you need a new tuner. I am sure there are serveral people here that will back me up on that one, a good tune just takes time and alot of twicking to get dailed in.

NO one said a donkey dick cam will drive just like stock, but there are good size cams making great power that are tuned good enough for your mom to drive em.
