What's the price point on these compared to the 1350's? Do they come with a warranty?

Edit: found answer to second question "10 Hours at 1550 HP (@2000 RPM or Above) or 1 Year, Whichever Comes First"

I agree the "factory" power levels are impressive, but (IMO) the switchable tune is nothing new or impressive at this point.

I'm pretty sure they scan it and will know what power level and rpm it was run at.10hrs at 1550hp is gonna cover alot of nautical miles,,w/ many fuel stops.
