The warranty bit caught my eye.

The limits are not horrible, but not great either.

It listed the components from the SC kit in there as well, just did not copy and paste that part.

I was about to say, uh, am I using different math?

So basically, the only way the warranty will ever pay out $8000 is if the supercharger blows all three things at the same time? Am I assuming correct?

If the supercharger costs more than 5k, then that warranty is BS to start with, right? Or are they saying in addition to the supercharger itself, the warranty ALSO includes up to $xx amount of the rest of the car?

Either way, we all know if you destroy one of these blocks, you're going to be paying way more than 5k...

saw this S/C also wonder if any Chevy dealer would actually install one. if GM would do this as a GMPP deal it would be sweet

Thats just a vendor covering his backside. Almost all performance parts will have that or "for off road use only" on it somewhere.

[Alarick]

You are correct, if the engine, trans, and rear end go out at the same time, or at different times, the warranty will only pay $8k in repairs.

Or if the engine blows two separate times, and each time the bill to fix it is $4,500, you'll have to eat the $4k left over from the second issue.
The warranty repair amounts are a total over the life of the warranty, not per occurrence.

Who would have thought I actually learned something from working for a sleezy aftermarket car warranty place.

And the more detailed info on what is covered from the PDF...
It looks like they may be lumping the SC kit into the $5k for the engine.

The "competition kit" is basically a "tuner kit"...leaves out certain components,injectors,tune ect...making it no longer qualify as "street legal" as the kit would not be as tested for CARB certification.


As for the warranty...looks to me like it has to be purchased...$775 for the 60mo/100k
Also just some other tidbits the kit must be installed by a GM Dealer,Edlebrock certified installer or ASE certified installer ect ect...

As for the block it says if the heads or block are damaged by failure of one of the covered parts the warranty will pay up 5,000 toward a "remanufactured long block"
