Here's something to keep in mind...The dealers don't make the call about whether to cover something under warranty or not...It's GM's call. If your engine takes a dump, and the tech sends your tune information to the warranty department, and it doesn't line up with what they show it should be, bye bye warranty.
Also, 4.10s and headers will require a tune. Tune = voided warranty. Also, going from 3.42s to 4.10s won't retain stock fuel mileage.
For the cost of a full exhaust (headers, y pipe, catback) and front and rear gears, I'd just spend a little more and just get a TVS supercharger. If I had $6k I wanted to spend on my truck, that's what I'd buy, hands down.

I'd go with a magnacharger simply because there is so much support and knowledge about that system on here. I don't know of one person on this site with an eforce. That's not to say its a bad blower as most of the roots blowers use the TVS rotors group just a different name.

magnuson has a warranty to. ARH LTs run $1600, grears will be around $1400 for AAM installed, if I did the Borla cat back it would be $1146 already have a tuner with 1year free mod updates. so looking at $4146 for all that So headers absolutly require a tune? Then they would Void the warrenty. A maguson SC would run $5800. How much would I expect for LT headers? The SC would give me around 120hp. if I did a SC would I get that with stock manifolds? Gears would not require a aftermarket tune. GM can retune the stock file.

Those blower warranties are only good with their factory calibration so you guys with aftermarket Tibetan will be SOL on the warranties those companies offer. Same goes for if you add a smaller pulley and I believe they require an ASE mechanic to install it.

This. They offer a warranty but it has to be installed by a certified mechanic and you have to use their tune and setup. If you alter it at all it voids the warranty. The tune that comes with them is usually a very safe tune to cover their ***.
