If you want an engine warranty expect weak HP gains...
Vortech offers both, a supercharger warranty and an engine warranty (optional). Well, at least on their previous systems, we will have to wait and see on the 370 kit. I'm sure it will be on par with the others.

I tried contacting them through their website to offer up my G37 if they wanted to develop a kit for that at the same time - no response.

Judging by your comments, this is the first time you're considering going F/I on a naturally aspirated new car.

Your warranty concerns are legitimate, but I advise you to stay away from anything short of of a quickly removable nitrous kit if you plan to take the car in for service when something goes wrong.

EDIT: Jeez, I just noticed you live in Southern CA. Hell, you even have to worry about CARB exemption (LOL smog Nazi state). I recommend you wait a while. CARB exemption takes months and most companies won't even pay to do it. Even then, you can run lean and still fail with a CARB approved mod.

I am never, ever, ever moving to a state where they can crush your car if you have an aftermarket intake.

What?!

Yeah, that's not how it works. I fail to see how you came to the conclusion that burning less fuel creates more emissions.

I swear...I learn more and more about what can happen to my car in the state I've lived in my entire life from people who don't even live here.

How non-CA residents perceive smog and CARB regulations is quite laughable...almost as much as CA residents who actually care about their mods being CARB-approved.

psh flip an APS inter cooler over what do you get?

Did you know California was raped by the EPA and gave birth to AL Gore.

Oh and do you guys really carry around champagne glasses so you can catch your farts and smell them like in Southpark?

No, that doesn't happen. The few that I know of, were from Riverside county, they were participating in illegal street racing and had multiple vehicle violations and illegal modifications. Stay away from illegal street racing and you'll be fine.

No. But I can tell you what I'm about to do. In just a few minutes, I'm gonna walk over to my bed and join my girlfriend who's already asleep. When I wake up not only the next morning, but every single morning for the rest of my life...I'll be in CA, more specifically the Peninsula of the Bay Area, one of the most desirable and sought-after places in the world to live.

Every morning you wake up...you're in Wisconsin.

just

Oh and there are benifits out here too but seriously i plan to move to montana or a state near it, or texas (hooray guns, the death penalty, being able to shoot a man dead if he tries to steal from you, and the rednecks there aren't nearly as bad as they are here)

I have to admit though It's never a good thing when you can drive for half an hour and end up in a place where the town sign is an '80s camaro on a blazer frame with 35" tall tires that says "welcome to Crivitz"

I actually enjoyed that!

I would still take FL over CA tho, especially the south beach & keys area...

But I'm a tri-state area man myself (NY,NJ,CONN) - Especially in Jersey...Everything is like 15 minutes away...Where else can you get the city (NYC), the beach (shitload of them) and like 7 malls in a 30 mile radius (LOL) all in one location. Not to mention Atlantic City which in the next 10-15 years will rival or > Las Vegas simply because we have the boardwalk/beach 30 seconds away!

Some people hate the cold weather and its totally understandable but I like having my 4 seasons and going ski'n too without planning an entire trip around it!

Wait, whats this thread about again??
