s/c nice but am contemplating an extended drive train warranty.....dont know if this will have ramifications. what about a more entry level upgrade. nothing that will effect warranty. how expensive is the engine swap??????????????

They're not easy to hop up. You can get a little performance and better sound with chips, exhausts and intakes, but to really go fast, you'll need to spend much cheese. If you're serious, consider the supercharger, which I'm quite sure will void any warranty.

Anything more than a catback muffler will void the factory warranty on the engine. I can't comment on aftermarket warranties, but I assume the same holds true there. If you are looking for serious hp gains the warranty is out of the question.

Performance upgrades and warranty that’s an oxymoron

Are they doing superchargers for the 2.7L motor, or is the compression too high on the 2.7L?

TPC was making a 2.7 supercharger kit but they have discontinued them. Maybe if we could get enough people together they would do a run of them. Maybe a GROUP BUY???? The 2.5 kit is very similar but I understand that there are some issues with the way the pipes fit on the 2.5 vs the 2.7. Not sure about anyone else.

An extended warranty on a '97 is not such a great idea I think. Especially a limited "drive train" warranty. All the ones I have seen never seem to cover anything that actually breaks. I don't think that you will find anyone to write you a decent warranty on a 10 year old car. Call warranty Direct and see what they say. I would be interested to hear what they have to say.
