With the 400HP to the wheels STOCK on all three and around 1.000 TQ why in the HE!! would you screw with your warranty???

I have tuned every one of my new vehicles over the past few decades well before the warranty period was up. Not once did I ever need the warranty on any of my new vehicles and I would gladly keep tuning them even if I did. Some people just don't care and are wiling to pay to play.

Just like some people like to buy expensive motorcycles or RV's while others may think that spending that much money on them is idiot (like I do) yet don't chastise others for doing it if it brings them joy and they paid for it with their own money.

Everyone has their own vices and things they find enjoyment in. As the old saying goes "Don't criticize a man that sins differently than you do." Same applies to where he chooses to spend his own hard earned money.

I know YOU understand the consequences, but many don't.

Yeah, but even if there are consequences, it is no different than spending money on motorcycles or high dollar RVs. How can one talk about someone spending maybe $5-10k on the consequences when they themselves spend more that twice as much on other stuff that makes them happy? Hot-rodding, making stuff fast that shouldn't be, and creating fun to drive vehicles customized to me has always a passion of mine(an many others) just like bike riding is to you.

I don't get the bike riding thing, but as long as you enjoy doing it then it isn't my business to get. If you want to spend all that money on bikes then more power to you. And if someone wants to pay to play and tune their new truck under warranty then more power to them. You are taking a higher risk with your life(because of other idiots on the road) and they are taking a higher risk with their wallet. Both are "sinning" so to speak, just differently.
