I know the Whitestone very well, Born and raised in Flushing.

I tried everything on the launch and it bogged every time.

I’ve posted this before, but what’s with all the warranty fear? I mean, these cars are fairly simple and inexpensive to fix. I think a new LT4 is something like $9000. Not exactly cheap, but that’s s worst case scenario. It’s not a $40,000 engine like a M5.

The "suggested retail price" on an LT4 is just over $16k, so yea you're right it's no crazy expensive BMW/AMG engine but definitely not cheap.

Warranty is valuable for much more than the engine though, which is still $15k + install/labor.

To the OP, where did you read this?

[BMGR1]

A tuner here in socal gave some insight that HPTuners should have a fix in the upcoming weeks software wise....

and this only voids engine/transmission warranty.... at least thats what my dealership won't honor in case something mechanically fails which is fine with me

my SS 1LE was not bogging at COTA this past weekend - best darn track car by a country mile for the $$$; maybe for anything under $100k but for the ZL1 1LE!!!

An LT4 crate motor is ~$14k, but I’m seeing about $9400 for a GM replacement engine. Still not cheap, but that’s an absolute worst case scenario. Unless you’re unlucky enough to have some freak failure that destroys the engine. I guess that would kind of suck.

For most repairs you’d go to a dealership for, having a tune is totally irrelevant. It might result in a denied powertrain warranty claim depending on the situation, but it’s far from black and white. Working in this industry for over 15 years, I’ve seen a lot of shit. Nobody is going to question a failed water pump, an oil leak, or other “normal” warranty issue. But come in with a rod hanging out of the block, and you’re on your own.

But that doesn't keep your warranty now does it.

You must be so fun at parties....

The issue is from a dig. You won't see it on a road course. I've been on Watkins Glen a couple of times with this car and haven't seen it either.
