Just do it, forget about warranty. I have 40K on mine, went FBO since 14K... not once did i need warranty. Enjoy it, no need to wait!

I agree

what kind of power are you putting down with your car?

MATTY-1LE · 02-13-2019, 12:42 PM

I dunno if i will ever touch the car with power adders, but if i did it would definitely be full bolt ons. Not getting deep in the engine this time around. I have learned my lesson. With a solid full bolt on a few guys ive seen are making 470rwhp+ which to me is pretty good and enough for anything id need. Maybe consider that too

I dumped the warranty at 2,000 miles and it’s been a blast

Normally I would agree with you here, but for people like me that run their cars pretty damn hard on track it's very good piece of mind knowing that the drivetrain is covered for track use. A small problem while cruising on the street can be exponentially worse at full send on the track, and as far as I'm aware track insurance (which I do get as well) doesn't cover mechanical failures.

There are builders that offer warranties for what it's worth. I haven't explored all the details or cost yet. Hennessey for one offers a 600 HP NA upgrade that dyno'ed 526 at the wheels. They offer a 3 Year / 36,000 mile limited warranty. I'm sure there are some others. I know nobody likes Hennessy, just shown as an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=8WB0hITCfZY

I daily, road, auto X, drag, hoon, even skate it in the rain. I do any discipline i can with this car. This car is good at whatever you tell it to do.

If I were you, I'd dip my toe in just a little bit to get a taste. You can do a ported throttle body, ported intake manifold and a catback or axle back before needing a tune. I think you can also do an under-drive pulley, too. All of which should have no impact on your overall warranty.

Gains are pretty limited for exhaust. Stock valves open is basically straight through.

Trust me the car never complained once!!! :P
Something about 1LE's... im in a 100+ people local camaro group.. and no 1LE has ever had issues.... most are SS and even a few ZL1's

At the end, its simple bolt ons....

I was in the same boat as you about 3-4 months after owning mine and thank goodness I waited because I track mine and didn't want to void warranty since it is warrantied on the track. Well a month ago while it is in the garage for the winter i decided to take the belly pan off under car to inspection of all the bolts etc and give it a good cleaning. Well I have an oil leak at 8,000 miles and if I had done full bolt ons that would be an expensive fix especially if the oil pan and timing cover have to be removed to fix the leak. Just my 2 cents but before I did anything go under car take pan off and inspect thoroughly.
