I hate to be a wet blanket, but if you are installing these on a new vehicle, you should check with your dealer first. If he/she says no problem, ask for it in writing. GM is denying warranty claims on vehicles using tuners/chips. My bet is Ford and Chrysler are or will be too.

GM dealer in Victorville, CA offers the Banks system installed on new vehicles in the showroom. When asked, the say there is no warranty problem. I'm beginning to think that it's a dealer thing.

Probably not any more. At one time, GM did turn a 'blind eye' or perhaps they just weren't monitoring it, but in the past 6 months they have gotten tough on it, denying dealer claims. I can only speak for GM, but dealer warranty claims are monitored/approved by their GM regional rep and the reps have been told to deny claims on any engines using tuners or chips. GM has gone as far as to claim it can tell by the burn pattern on the tops of the pistons if tuners were used.
Maybe the dealer you cite is offering their own warranty.
