Edelbrock warranty is 3 years (materials and workmanship) and only requires that the kit be "properly installed". Of course, the standard disclaimers for competitive racing use apply. You can read the warranty details here http://www.edelbrock.com/fa20/downlo...l-warranty.pdf
The Harrop warranty is only 1 year and the kit must be installed by "a qualified motor mechanic or technician who has undertaken appropriate training in fitting Harrop superchargers." Also, there is wording about being tuned by a qualified technician as well. As found in the installation manual here: https://www.harrop.com.au/downloads/...stallGuide.pdf
So, Edelbrock warranty is, by my assessment, far superior to the Harrop warranty. While people have reported excellent responsiveness from Harrop's customer service, the fact does remain that Edelbrock is based here in the USA and Harrop is on the other side of the world.
Ugh... tough call.

Edelbrock further sweetens the pot with a $500 rebate and free shipping at the moment.
CSG adds icing on the cake with a free D-box.
