The only warranty that doesnt get voided by the GM supercharger package is the factory warranty. If you have an extended warranty it will not cover any damage that they believe is caused because of the supercharger, so anything mechanical that gets damaged will not be covered. Even more so, the dealership i took it wont even touch the car, i couldnt pay them to fix it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix my car?

what is wrong with your car ??
and id say to try a GM dealer that sells teh GM performance parts
its not the dealer, i called the GMPP the warranty company, and they said, if its a mechanical problem caused by the supercharger, they wont cover it. If it electrical they will still cover it.
The problem is i have a cell that keeps coming on and the Trac Off light is on. I believe both were caused by my use of the B&M shiftplus.
The car and trans seem to run just fine, last time i went to the track i had the 2 lights on and i ran 14.6 my fastest time yet. SO i dont think anything mechanically is wrong with the trans.
So im going to take it back to the dealership that installed the charger and pay them to do the diagnostic work since the one its at right now wont even do that. I prey that its something electical like a trans pump that i can claim on my warranty.

with my shift plus my track light always says off
i dont get a CEL , or anything else with mine
and i know about the warreenties , i was refering to taking your car to get looked at by a chevy dealer , that deal with GM performance parts , not all dealers do
Although the ABS light isn't coming on (or at least you didn't mention it) I'd look towards a wheel speed sensor going/gone bad. What is the CEL for, did you have the code pulled?
Hopefully it's not a trans problem.

It's really simple this was what I was told when I did the kit.
If you install it the warranty is void. If the dealer installs it you have full warranty even with the extended warranty. You just have to supply the install receipt with the warranty claim.
trac off + cel could man slow response o2 sensor 1. its happened to me and others.

grab a cheap code reader off ebay, then you never have to worry about paying to read a DTC ever again.
tough luck about the warranty, but seriously, car companies are in big enough financial trouble, if they started warrantying cars that they new were gonna have the crap beat out of them, they'd REALLY be in deep @!#$... Best way to think of it is to go to a deal to buy your car and then never go there again. If your warranty is that important, don't mod the car until its run out.

'Nuff said
well the warranty isnt really important to keep. Im gonna cancel tomarrow to save myself the rest of the money invested into it. Ill try the O2 sensor.

i wouldnt spend a penny tell you get the codes read
no sense spending unnecessary money
just my thoughts
just go to autozone or advance auto parts. they can pull the codes for free and tell you what they mean. i had the trac off light and cel coming on from a slow response from o2 sensor 1, like was stated above. it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the 86 dollars after tax that chevy will charge you to get the code and do nothing.
