Question Chips, tuners, Warrenty... What can I get away with?

Hey guys,
what can I get away with as far as tuners or in line devices are concerned while my truck is still under warrenty? I know the SMARTY is undetectable, but is also out of my budget right now, as I'm renovating my house. Can I use an inline device like a quadzilla or a power puck and remove it with no trace? I know flash tuners like a Diablo Preditor are out of the question.. I wasn't sure what else was out there that wouldn't give me warrenty stress but still cost less than $700. Eventually I'll get a smarty, but in the mean time, I can get a power puck for around $160 which would be pretty cheap performance gain! Thanks for any imput,

Jason

well how about less obvious??? A flash tuner that resets everything is going to be real easy to detect. I want to put somthing on the truck for more power!

I will vote for the quad module. Good product and smooth power. Not hairraising but good, and it seems to help with fuel mileage some. Plus they have great customer service. Scotty

IF you have to ask that question, repeat after me:

I'd just try to be patient & wait for the smarty. I had an SC, so I installed it. I wish I waited. I plan (at this time, I change my mind often) to get a reflash, sell my Diablo & SC, and get a smarty.

I'm kind of leaning towards that... (waiting for a smarty that is) I can always wait around for one used to come up for sale in the classifieds and save some $$$ that way.
