basically like this...the part is warrantyd by doug full 1 yr replacement...the install regular warranty...the rest of the power train...by incident evaluation...meaning if the tranny goes im probablly covered the only reason it's touchy is the increased power...but concidering i have one replaced at lower power and the number of incidents it shouldnt be a problem

lets face it...it's no longer a type S at that point anyway...and if someone trys to give me shit...i can back it up

One advice, order the short block for the MDX yourself ($1.5k), have some new rods and pistons for $500 and you would save some $500.It is not rocket sicence, I think the short block does not need any special machining for mating with top of the CL-S

no not even close...315/260 but to put this in prospective at an 1/8th mile track a stock cl-S runs between 10.0 and 9.7 i run 9.5 to 9.4 the 3.5 has done a 9.1 with poor traction...i think my draggers might solve that problem and could bring a 8.9** this winter 8.9** is a given into the high 13's 1/4
so it's no miracle drug but ,it'll hange with some of the big boys
