I have the Blackwing on mine. Not sure how much performance increase it gives, but I noticed better throttle response right off. I've never had any problems with warranty issues on mine.

"Allow 25 miles of driving to provide relearn time for the PCM> All fuel trims will eventually retrim to 14.7:1 except WOT. That will be leaner, but still well within the power range and will likely provide 5 to 6% more torque and horsepower throughout the rev band.
Please understand that new air will not cause your car to run lean. The factory air fuel ratio is 12.3:1 for Wide Open Throttle, which is way too fat for max power. Our intake does not need programming to operate properly, but will see added benefits from a good LS1 Edit program.

You WILL notice a difference, particularly at higher revs.

Blackwing
I installed the Blackwing this weekend and took 160 mile run. I could fell the power of rapid response (at 2000 RPM) over the K&N filter I had attached to my BBK cold air induction. As others said you can hear the high suction from the Blackwing. I hear it more because I'm running hi-flo cats, X-pipe and ZO6 Ti catback exhaust.
As its been said the LS1 performs much better with a high flow intake of air and a low restriction exhaust system. With all said I recommend going with the Blackwing again it is GM approved.
