^ LOL....i hate dealerships....with my 350z when my synchros started to go on me...they accused me of beating it up and what not...well come to find out thanks to a 350z forum it was a very common problem with 2003 Z's....people are worthless...they act like the money comes out of there pocket....thanks for the help guys...also how strong is the trans? i was lookin into regular wrxs and i guess once you get into low 13s with it the trans can become very weak...will the evo trans get me into the 12s and keep me there without upgrading the clutch?

On the other hand, I can tell you what I expect with those same mods:
With just S-AFC and K&N drop-in: 12.83@106.3 (already done)
With 3" cat-back/MBC/S-AFC/K&N: 12.4@110 (expected, but not attempted yet)
With 3" TBE/MBC/S-AFC/K&N/FP: 12.3@111 (I won't ever have a TBE, though)
That's on 93 octane with 1.75 60' times on an '05 model only. If you don't have an Evo, don't know how to drive one, don't know how to launch AWD on the stock clutch without killing it, and don't know how to fine-tune the S-AFC yourself, then I think you'd get 12s easily and repeatedly, but probably in the high 12s.
You won't need the fuel pump until you add cams to this equation. Adding the 255lph Walbro won't HURT, and it's a cheap and easy mod to do, but you won't need it.
Depends on how good of a driver you are. 12.7-13.2
You can't expect a dealership to cover warranty issues when you modify your car. It's just that simple. Little modifications can change how the manufactorer intended the car to run or perform. It's not in they're best intrest and I don't blame them one bit. You have to pay to play and if your modifying your car. You should expect on paying for any damaged engine or drivetrain parts out of your own pocket if you want to play.
What really gets me is the people who cry about it when their warranty is voided because they modified the car. Then they say the dealership sucks, mitsubishi sucks, the service sucks, blah, blah, blah. It's just like any other warranty, for instance if you took apart a VCR and tried to unjam a tape or something, you wouldn't expect Sony to replace it after you went inside and butchered it would you. Anytime you undo a screw or a bolt in most cases they consider the product tampered with and automaticly void the warranty.

thanks alot for the help...i agree when someoen mods a car quite a bit and doesnt get why its not covered under warranty...i just think it would be retarded if you have a exhaust and safc or sumthin and your trans goes out and they try blaming your mods for your trans just because of a lil bit of extra power...anywho thanks alot for the help and i hope i can sell my Z really soon.
