I have the C&L Racer and SCT tuner from Brenspeed and it made a lot of difference. I'd highly recomend it.

same as all the rest. if your dealer is cool with mods, then not likely. if the part causes a problem, then they dont fix. if its unrelated, no problem. if your dealer does not like mods, then you need to find another dealer, as it may be a hassle to get them to touch the car.

Last year shortly after I installed a C&L Street CAI and Diablo tune on my GT I went on a 2800km road trip from Calgary to Kelowna to Victoria to Seattle and back up to Vernon then Calgary and had not a lick of issue anywhere along the way. I used 87 octane only (and the matching tune of course) to save a few bucks along the way but she ran like a top. I bet I have put on at least 5-6000kms with my CAI and tune and it's been great.

My dealer is pretty good about mods (one of the reasons I went there). They sell a bunch of FRPP parts (in fact the only one in the city that does of something like 6 dealerships). And they are pretty proactive about selling other bits like CDC, Roush and stuff like that. When I bring the car in usually some of the service advisors and some of the techs come out to see what I've done lately and admire the car.

from looking on the net you can tell that there are two real companies that you can choose from brenspeed and bamachips. i decided to go with brenspeed because brent did not have the bmr parts i wanted he gave me steeda at the same price. i am the type of guy that believes that once you take care of me, i will follow you into hell until you screw up. i got the c&l (maybe i should have gone with the JLT) and his tune was right on. i had three pulls with a great local tuner (prodyno.net) and my af was right on. if i could do it again, i would pay brent more money knowing that i had nothing to worry about.
