You just have to look at extended warrenty as an insurance policy, we hardly ever use our insurance policies some never. The insurance companies make good money, but when something goes wrong you are sure glad you have it.

Is oil change doable by any owner or it need to be (or it must be) done only by the dealership?

Mine is 258 hp 255 torque. Here: https://www.paulscrossfire.com/performanceideas.htm
288 hp by 306 torque after conversion.
I didn't write it, the shop had it's own way of converting

Easy to do yourself. Lots of info on this site. I service ours myself using a mityvac extractor. I can do it all from the top that way, no getting under the car. Dealer would be last place l would go. If you have a good Indy shop you like you could talk to them about it. Use only the recommended Mobil 1 oil and a fleece filter, not paper.

It's been 12 years since Virgil asked that question ! I wonder if he still has his Crossfire?

Am I reading it correctly that you are only losing 30 hp through the drive train? I thought it would be more than that.
