Nonetheless, it's a good point you made. More review is necessary.

I only said that because for some reason I was thinking that the FRPP kits for the 3 valve engines changed the warranty. The standard 400hp kit dropped it to 1yr/12k and the 550 HO kit voided it altogether. Don't quote me on it, but it seems like I read that somewhere. Either way I'd really read the fine print before I jumped in with both feet based on something a dealer says during a sales pitch.

I think the key is if the authorized dealer installs this kit....then maybe it rides the 3 year 36k miles.
It sounds like a must have on the wish list of a 2011 GT500.
I would like to see the specs after this kit is installed...

I assume it would add to the challange of keeping tires on traction. Anyone who manages complete control can look forward to the upgrade otherwise the 2.9 becomes a very expensive way for having bragging rights. It would be fun though.
