3) does it come with everything i need or will need different intake tubing, different injectors etc
4) What the most psi can you run on pump gas

1) Think so
2) I would go with pcmforless. I have riddin in a couple with different tunes and by far the best.
3) Comes with everything, such a nice kit.
4) You can go 10 or so, as long as the tune is good.
5) Who cares about warrenty? If something breaks you replace it with somethin better.
6) Good question.

Its a complete kit nothing else needed just get a good cold air intake kit. You can use the tune or "calibration kit" it comes with but i suggest a tune to get moe power and make sure air/fuel ratio is ok.

1) yes
2) Nelson tune
3) Most complete kit out there. Magnacharger say to use the stuck air box with a K&N drop in.
4) 10 or so with a good tune
5) hellbents10 said it good
6) tbyrnemotorsports has had some very good prices

to answer question #5 the dealer has to prove that the blower blew the motor as long as you know that for ex if the connecting rod breaks then they will check pcm to see @witch rpm did it happen and no it would not tell them it broke but it will give miss fire codes @ such rpm and if it would be higher than stock shift points they can also see no freeze frame records timeing,o2 sensor,tpi sensor,everything when it set code pcm takes a picture of what is going on.If all this is close it has to be cover and if they say no call gm and explain. I am no my 3rd motor and 8th trans.

1) yes it is
2) if you change it 1) does not apply
3) everything you need is there.
4) Why not get it on and see what it is like pluse 2) applys here
5) Depends on your relationship with your dealer. I beat the $hit outta mine every day and it still lives
6) ----> sponsors on the right, or contact me for more info.
