I don't necessarily disagree with you about the Abbot vs. Hirsch thing. I just wish their pricing was a little more "in line" Yea, yea, yea,we've all heard the whine about this "just being an EPROM" but I sincerely believe that research does go into this and R&D is not free and should not be ripped off. I did not know about Hirsch offering their own warranty. I will check this out with my dealer. Do you know if Abbott does the same? cheers, - Spyderman "H." <musicboxnopsamrider.co.uk> wrote in message news:80uuausjemp4ig528khesnaa508g89ula1nopsamcom... > >My dealer informs me that doing the Trionic T-7 upgrade will void my engine > >warranty in the event of failure.
