stillen intakes and fast intentions cbe tune?

And I don't think the bolt ons should ever void the warranty of any part of the engine... But a tune is directly hacking into the "brain" of the motor and of the car, so I honestly think Nissan or any car maker declining warranty work on a blown motor is kind of valid... Maybe the coding of the tune was corrupted in some way and the car kept misfiring, seems plausible to me, and that's an issue I don't believe Nissan will fix, and I would completely side on Nissan's behalf in their decision in not paying out for the repairs...
I think that's pretty logical, because you're directly hacking into the car and telling it to do something it wasn't designed to do...

Something else I missed (I think):

When you get a tune, can't you optimize the timing, etc... for the fuel that is available in your area? In other words, from the factory the ECU has to be tuned for 91 because that is all some states carry. But with a tune you can optimize for 93 if that's what you have.

Am I wrong?

I do believe the ECU does adjust timing for up to 94 octane...
And New Mexico only had 90 octane... (New Mexico is worse than Old Mexico
