Honestly not sure. I said screw the warranty pretty quickly after buying the truck. I like going fast and having fun. Got to pay to play.


Also the warranty is only void if they can prove that the part that broke was due to something aftermarket. So while the motor and drive terrain are pretty much voided now there is still plenty on the truck that could go wrong or fail that should still be covered.

Will i be killing mileage with out headers and a SC?
My results:
Stock 15.77 et
K&n and hypertech 14.65 et
Returned to stock and added lysholm with 3.80 pulley 13.65
Added slicks and 3.65 pulley went 13.1x @ 104mph
Added 2800 stall, ARH headers, 3.73's and 3.25 pulley and went 12.4 @ 110 mph.

Cut and dry info for you. Blower is the best bang for the buck. Lysholm's heat echanger is actually a nice unit.

Now quit bench racin and buy something

Good choice. Of all the TVS systems, the E-Force is the least supported and therefore the one I would be least likely to bolt to my 6.2. If you ever consider the exhaust route again, headers with the factory catback is the best bet, hands-

down. It has plenty of flow for your goals and sounds great with longtubes; nice tone, no drone.

yes i think a SC then LTs and ill see what my milage is then maby the 4.10s and call it perfact. I need to find tires for all this power. Im keeping the stock Z71 18" wheels. no lifts or drop. The stock truck can roast the stock tires thru 2nd gear.

Id honestly forget about the gears. Blower, cam, headers and a real tune will make a mid 12 second truck and outrun mostly stock sports cars all while hauling 5 adults and a bed full of crap. Fast trucks are fun, I had my 4wheeler in the bed of my old Z71 with everything for camping on the weekend with four other people in the truck. Walked a corvette to 80 to merge onto the highway, of course I had a stroker motor and a 4200 converter but Im sure that vette driver had the biggest WTF look on his face.
