And you'll be out $4-8k on an engine...
Your ECU is AMAZING at figuring a tune out... If you leave your mods on for long enough a tune will get you 5-7hp and 10 pounds of tq MAYBE...
The last person I know who got a tune had G3's HFC's, and CBE, the tune have him 4hp and 7ft lbs of tq... Not worth the $700 IMO with your warranty void

why are you spreading false info?
the magnuson-moss warranty act states that the manufacture has to prove your modification caused the defect, if you go in with a blown motor and there isnt a problem with the tune(after extensive testing via dealer) they have to fix your engine under warranty, they cant just void it all together but they can deny a warranty claim if your modification did cause a defect
if i install an aftermarket radio and suddenly my speakers arnt working, ya my modification caused the defect but if i installed an aftermarket radio, and my glove box handle broke, they still have to fix my glove box under warranty unless proven otherwise(whether it is through misuse or my aftermarket radio)...
