The part I don't like is you have to use Edelbrock's CARB tune for the warranty to apply. It makes sense why they insist on that, but I would want a catless header (probably ACE) and Delicious tune, so I'd be out a warranty. Granted, I'm over 36K miles, so I'd be out a warranty regardless.

Well CSG would be one of the ones I would trust to ask a fair price and do a good job (based upon their reviews and participation here) but Atlanta to California is a long haul to have a SC installed. As much as I would hope that the other "Certified" installers would be as good there is no assurance they are. It could end up costing way more with somebody else. The warranty also stipulates that all repairs must be done by the Certified Installer so there is even more cost. Just not convinced that you would come out of the deal all that well if you had a crappy installer.
Now, all that aside if I had known about this when I first bought my car I may have been straight to the nearest certified installer and had that puppy slapped in (before I knew I really didn't need a SC for anything). I would not however trade/sell my car to buy a new one to have it installed. That is just plain silly economics since the hit you would take on the car would more than pay the costs if you ever had to replace an engine.
