They claim to have a lifetime warranty for as long as you own your car.

The engines sound nice, but the guy sounds just a *little* defensive about the warranty stuff. The 12mo/12,000 mile warranty applies only to their stock engines. For the performance engines, he says they'll fix anything they did wrong, but won't cover if: "engine was used for racing purposes, if it was over revved, had full throttle pulls, if it was over heated, was run out of oil, had incorrect timing (pinging) or insufficient octane among many other things."
Excluding "full throttle pulls" probably gets them out of covering anything. What's the point of having a performance engine if you're not gonna floor it occasionally???? :D :D

Anyone who warenties a performance engine for more than 90 days is an idiot.
It's a cruel world out there on the dragstrip. things break, over rev it a few times, drop a valve and blammo time for a new engine!
