So I want speed, hehe, simply stated, I've done lil things like mod my ram air box for more air, and added a K&N Filtercharger, and tricked my air sensor to think it's 34 degrees out (love that sneaky thing), but I'd love to do more. My main worry is about voiding my warranty, my baby is fresh, like only 2000 on the odometer fresh, so I like to have that cushy warranty in the back of my mind. So does anyone have suggestions of what i can do that won't void my warranty, or at least "parts" of it?? OR are there some good products (besides the $6000 supercharger from RSM :D ) that may pick up my warranty when their part goes on my car??

Well the first thing you should do is remove that resistor you have tricking your air temp sensor. That is one of the worst things you can do to a car. You are forcing it to run rich with the extra amounts of fuel being dumped. Number one, you are killing your converter, and two your gas mileage is most likely in the toilet too. I hope you didn't get taken for too much if you bought that one off Ebay.

As to your warranty. Pretty much anything you do to your car or engine has the potential to void a portion of your warranty. It is up to the dealer to prove your mods caused the issue at hand.

Whatever you do, make sure you can undo it before taking it in for warranty work. Especially go fast mods.

I got taken for 35 cents for my lil resistor mod, got it off of GrandAmGT.com here (http://www.grandamgt.com/iatoverride.html) and it has actually been running smoother, I dunno, maybe it's just me....but if I've got more than one person tellin me, THEN I might think about removing it, and no, my gas mileage has been the same because I was leery of that same result so I kept close tabs on it...and what "go fast mods" can I do that I can remove quickly JAFO??

yea, that's about the only thing I can think of that won't permanently alter anything.
