I've seen quite a few 5.0/ GT500 owners at the track with a whole slew of FRPP and when I asked why they said because they are good parts at a good price and dealers don't go pointing to his mods as the culprit whenever a problem arises.
P.S. GMPP is now called Chevy Performance

I forgot about Ford racing parts until you brought that up. I find it interesting that they also offer a warranty on top of their supercharged systems. Their performances parts site does offer some interesting options. I know through the GM catalogue they do offer a CAM which will void warranty and the LSA supercharger kit. Although, I am not sure if it's actually readily available to purchase as a full kit and can be installed via the dealership. Tuning will be an issue since I'm sure that the dealerships don't have the knowledge(at this time) and the ability to tune for this supercharger. Also I am not sure if there is a warranty on top of their LSA superchargers.
There are people around that would like aftermarket type options from the dealer with warranty to have that "piece of mind" or what have you.
In my opinion, I'm glad that there is the option to upgrade to the 3.91 gears, 1LE suspension track pack among the few available performance upgrades that won't really affect warranty. If it is affected it will be given a 12 month warranty on parts (at least that's what my dealer told me). But a supercharger, intake, possibly a cam option would be nice to see. Would I get it? Quite possibly. Would there have to be rigorous testing for this option? I would certainly think so. But that's just my opinion.
I would like to see a more expanded offering of performance products for our Camaros similar to the Ford Racing products offered on their site.
