My experience is that breathing mods you can get away with most of the time, but things that directly affect the mechanics of the engine are a roll of the dice.

I might be thinking of another act, I don't remember that being the name. Now I did install a Stillen Under Drive Pulley. Now before installing I called Stillen and of course they said it wouldn't void my warranty. I talked to the Nissan dealership near me that I do my oil changes with and they said it would. Now at the same time I was already hammering down on the manager by talking to the regional manager on another topic so I make his life hell when I come in and his guys who do take care of my car love it. A little payback for those guys goes a long way. So anyway I called the dealership I bought it from and explained it to them how I was told that the pulley would affect my harmonic balancer and mess with my timing. Now it does help responsiveness some and it actually reduces some stress to a degree on the alternator. He said I could install it and that's when he proceeded to tell me about the act that protects me. At the end of the fun conversation he said if it gets bad remove it and put the stock pulley and belt back on. Just my case though. I have heard some messed up stories of dealers shutting some guys down.
