Thanks for your feedback but I am comfortable with Edelbrock's new warranty policy.
"Our new Limited Powertrain Warranty will pay up to $16,500 to cover the cost of parts and repairs for engine, transmission and rear axle components if a warranted vehicle suffers a mechanical failure. Now you can outfit your ride with an E-Force Supercharger and have the peace of mind that you'll be covered!"
If I lose my factory warranty, I can do a lot of non-drivetrain related repairs with the additional $8K and still be at parity.

So with Eforce, if a lifter wipes the cam shaft are they going to cover the cost of a new motor?

Sounds very good...in theory. I hate to be so skeptical, I probably can't count the number of aftermarket warranties I've seen that always seem to find a loophole not to pay when the time comes ala the LPE story.
Id love to hear of a known claim that has been paid.

And I give you your loop hole. I don’t believe there is an aftermarket that can say they’ve never had an engine fail...regardless of where the fault lies. Take that blown engine car to GM with an aftermarket supercharger attached and watch them laugh you out of the shop when you inquire about warranty coverage. All Edlebrock has to do is blame GM parts and they are off the hook saying it’s not their fault.
If you put an Eforce on an new LS7 car and it drops a valve who’s paying?

I haven't heard of anyone saying Edelbrock didn't back up their warrenty. If you find someone saying otherwise please let us know. Here's Edelbrock phone number if you'd like to ask them any questions.
Phone: 877-266-3838

If your new LT1 corvette, built less then 3 years ago with less then 36,000 miles on it, they would pay to repair the Engine.

No, because you can't buy "new" LS7 corvette. They stopped making LS7 corvettes in 2013. The Edelbrock warranty is 3 years 36,000 miles from date the car was built. So being the last LS7 was built 5 years ago you'd be out of luck.

It was a hypothetical question but you missed that....but a 2015 Z28 could still be under warranty.
