Hey guys, I bought a new 14 GT M6 and have put 2200 miles on it so far. Eventually the car will get a nice treatment of warranty voiding goodies, but for now I need to keep the warranty intact until I am comfortable the car will have no major issues. My thoughts are to do all the "no tune required mods" for now and see just how fast I can get it to go like that first. I have been a drag racer for 20 years and have had many fast race cars, but I just dont have the time like I used to so I figured its time for a bad ass light to light street car. Any thoughts on what works and what is a waste of money and time?
"No tune" mods
- Thread starter willytucker
- Start date
Suspension is a given and will be done soon. Car already has AB's and a Barton with 2 post. I was looking at other things like shorties, 85mm TB, aluminum DS, 2 step, bigs and littles, possibly a gear change from the 3.73 to a 4.10 or 4.30 ect.
Are over the axle pipes worth the money?

Gear change will require tune. TB, shortie headers almost no benefit with out tune. Bigs and littles great idea until clutch protection kicks in on the stock tune. OAP are worth it for the sound if you aren't gonna tune it. Will definitely free up some power once tuned.
Pretty much moral of the story is stick to suspension and looking pretty if you aren't gonna tune it.

Damn warranty...lol
Just buy a blower, use their provided tune, and enjoy the aftermarket warranty. You can get 3/36 with Roush, Paxton, or Vortech and up to 5/60 with Procharger or Magnuson.
It's not Ford backing you but Cornerstone. You can't really add many mods after (though a short throw and axleback will be fine), but it'll at least be protected. And you'll have more power.

Lightweight wheels and aftermarket driveshaft plus suspension.
Maybe concerning suspension related parts.
They have to prove that the aftermarket part caused what ever the issue at hand is to void your warranty.

I mean if you put springs on your car and then took it to the dealership because of busted shocks most likely they will tell you to go phuck yourself. Put a tune on it and your motor blows because of oil pump gear failure and they won't warranty it because of the tune? Just remind them of the Magnuson-Moss and they will take care of it.

That act is worthless now and most don't even know why it was put in place in the first place.
