I never said the tune would be bad and damage the motor. The fact that a tune exists\existed is what makes me nervous. Suppose I threw a rod due or something bad, related or unrelated to the tune, and the dealer reviewed the ecu counter/status/rom/whatever and discovered I flashed my ECU at one point. I'm saying that its probably easier for them to deny shit versus me moving a sensor on a front pipe.

I know, I know, I am dumb and my motor will run terrible without a tune.

Your not dumb and I apologize if I came off as being too harsh. The op was/is looking to get a tune to support his header and I approve. I wish their was a way I could convince you of the same but, your nervous about voiding your warranty for good reason.

Your missing out on maximizing the power of you header and the potential of your car without a tune. The stock tune was designed to match thn stock components of your car as well as fuel economy, emissions and long term durability. Yes, with a tune you are asking more of your car but how much more? These engines were designed to last thousands of miles..maybe 200k or more. with a tune maybe your shaving off some but how long are you planning to drive it?

As far as voiding your warranty, blowing a rod or exploding your engine I don't know what to tell you. I could say that you have nothing to worry about as long as you avoid FI. I could say these OFT tunes have been tested and run by thousands with no issues but I don't know the future. Maybe you will just have to take a leap of faith.
