Although not unexpected, proof of maintenance and install records. (oil change every 3k miles or 3 months)
Plus all install and maintenance documented at an approved service facility..
They are makeing you pay for every penny here.
I think I would let this deal pass since I will undoubtedly install this myself..
If this is written into the price of the blower than I would likely have them take it out.
I'm not against their warrantee, unless I can make an HONEST deal with whipple and an install facility/buddy.
I'm at 64k on my whipple now, that was bought used. 36k or 3 years will come and go fast..
That money will be better spent earning a yield to buffer my risk, rather than paying towards a closing window of "hope".

I think it may have gone away for a couple of months then came back with a different pricing structure and terms. We're talking early 2015 is when it switched.
Personally, I know they're making money selling warranties (both whipple and roush), meaning the failure rate is low. And again, Internet forum data gathering indicates they have been highly reliable. I played the odds and, in just a few thousand more miles, I will come out ahead (knocking on wood again).

I'm sure you can you bring the motor and blower up passed 200k if you stick with whipple program for the most part.. I will probably will stick with whipples tune and just focus on improving cooling, and maybe a pulley swap if their tune has the buffer for it.

I'm not worried about the warranty, if your worried about warranty maybe you should just wait. Warranties are jokes never had any luck with Fords warranties on my diesels. I just save my self the trouble and fix it my self. I don't expect ford to warranty what they put on. Plus, my buddy had a Roush and Roush didn't warranty his supercharger because he didn't have their can tune. So he ended up buying and modding that supercharger into a VMP.
