I think like Tommy,
It sucks to have someone on the inside leave the way she did. Longest thread I've seen on this forum and and it just seemed to repeat it's self. Maybe they'll fix the warranty issue, maybe not.
Talking with my service manager, he's trying to get me the upgrade due to my stumble problem. But as he put it, if a problem arises it has to be "proven" it was the fault of the part. (You can always keep the factory PCM with you and swap out if your really worried.) I can't wait to hear the bitching when someone hydrolocks their motor due to removing the air box and installing a CIA and DC won't cover the repairs. I think Ian-GT-PT and others have shown how strong the motor is with bost controllers etc. I don't think there is much to worry about. I had an '86 Charger Turbo that I ran with the stage2 kit (14psi) without an intercooler for 250,000km. without an issue.
The way I personally look at it is I bought the GT because it had great style, handled great for what it is, has 215hp. AND it seems Chrysler was conservative with these numbers with most dynoing out at 200-210. Bonus.
Most "Superchips" and the like are going to void most warranties, it's an aftermarket part. The fact of Mopar designing our PCM should give us piece of mind thats its a quality part designed by the people who designed our motor.
All in all buy it or not, but I dont think 20hp is going to lead to a rash of heads blowing, and engines detonating due to exessive pressure. (and make friends with your service manager, every little bit helps)
Just my $.02, Thanks UniqTwin for your time and effort.
Don
