How long is your warranty in effect?

If only two years, go with the indy, if you have an extended warranty, go with the dealer.

My two cents,

Go with the Indy shop if you actually want to make some decent horsepower.Factory stage2 is a dog.

RE: can anyone answer this?

I did the stage 2 "dog" myself.First off there's the warranty issue.Second, if the indy gets you 110 hp and 110 tq, the only place those numbers will be usable is a dyno or drag strip.I didn't realize the 203's I installed were ****-poor.I thought I felt a difference.Maybe not.I know there are some much better setups than the "dog", but for me hp and tq numbers in an rpm band that I'll never run in are useless.You guys with these other setups, let me see some numbers.Theres a small shop where I am that routinely gets 120 hp out of a twin cam, but like I said in a useless-in-the-real-world-rpm range.Now men ..commence to hammering me...
