So what do you think? Worth 2500? Im seriously thinkin bout buying it and running it in my dd street/strip 95 m6 Z28. It will stay all motor but im thinkin i might spray it so what kind of pistons should i go with and what kind of cam should i request him to use? Thanks guys Also he's sayin 450+ hp any ideas on this claim?

 

Obviously, I can't comment on the quality of the machining or the assembly. The parts are bargain basement. What bothers me is the 450hp claim. It's clearly exaggerated and if he is not telling the truth about that, I wonder about everything else. Also - is there a core chrage? Are there any accessories? What gaskets are used?

You are right, those pistons are not suitable for spray.

yes thats what im worried bout. the guy builds them in his garage im takin it and not sure on the head gaskets? ROL heard of them? No core charge and he says hes comin down to charlotte which is right by where i live so he can drop it off to me or meet me but im just not sure on this one.

This is my alternate and is probably what ill end up doin. Ill just have my heads reworked and buy new springs, cam and 1.6 rr. probably

 

No specific knowledge of the shop, but those are much better parts.
