Get a Gryphon or an Xcal3 tuner with custom tunes. You really need custom tunes with the CAI. The tuner will really help on the shifting and downshifts as well as get all your engine has to offer. You can get more low end torque by replacing the Flowmaster with a Magnaflow. They don't sound as good to me, but they do help the low end, if you are looking for performance.

are you talking about ford's factoy warrany? i've never heard of anybody offering a warranty on your drivetrain when the transmission could be the problem, not the tuner. i hope that makes sense.
