I'd like more than just sympathy if mine popped.

Our warranty program is basically us standing behind the product. If a customer has an issue then we would work with them to resolve it. We have built our reputation on the fact that we don't cause issues to begin with. Our tunes have a very comfortable safety factor in them for that reason, so we don’t have to have customers worrying that they will need to be in some warranty program because we are pushing the limits. With that said, if on the off chance an issue does come up, we would cooperate with the customer to determine the cause and if found to be an issue caused by us we would of course stand behind it.

Keep in mind if an engine does fail, its certainly not an overnight process. Everything from what tune was in the car, fuel grade testing, engine teardown and inspection, and more, a lot of things would have to take place if such a thing occured and no one wants to go through that, it is an unpleasant process for everyone, so we have done our best to make sure that the chances of that happening with our setup are as low as they could possibly be. So our customers don't have to worry about such things.

hmm, well, thanks. I want to go with a steeda intake and tune, my confidence is just a bit shaken in how well the coyote will hold up. my confidence is also a bit shaken with ford being so quick to blame aftermarket pieces and tunes as the source of an issue.

it's comforting having a little piece of paper that tells you if ford will not stand behind you and believes tuning is the reason for engine failure, then we have your back to the extent of xxxx$$, if the tune can be proven as the source of the issue etc. it's ideal to never need that to begin with, but it gives you a comfort level to take the plunge when you have it.

is there any record of a stock 5.0 with #8 cylinder failure? I wonder if it is just the tune that causes the failure. I know that it is very rare to happen, just a thought.
