Looking at a 2000 t/a WS6 Here' what's been done to it....
Texas speed Stage 2.5 CNC ported 5.3 heads.
Here is a link to the heads:
http://texas-speed.com/p-1172-prc-st...ted-heads.aspx
The heads are a 58cc chamber
The head gaskets are stock ls1 MLS gasketsstatic compression is around 10.7:1
The cam shaft is a Texas speed Magic stick 3 here is a link to the specs:
http://texas-speed.com/p-1152-texas-...-camshaft.aspx
The lobe separation #111As for the intake, it is a Professional products 96mm typhoon intake.
The throttle body is a Rev Extrmeme 95 mm TB.The injectors are ford racing (bosch) 30# injectors
Oil pump is a LS6 ported and shimmed pump. The timing set is a billet dual roller.
The bottom end is stock LS1 with upgraded rod bolts.Long tube BBK headers with 3" Flowmaster exhaust. 215,XXX KM on body. Engine/trans has around 30-40,XXX. Diff has 70,XXX.Edelbrock strut brace, Eiback lowering springs, Monroe struts/shocks, short throw shifter are all fairly recent.Driver seat minor wear/tear. The rest of the interior is nice.Paint is original, has minor flaws hear and there.
Seller states 535 hp and is asking $12,000,
Question is, is it worth it and are the hp numbers close to what he says???
Thanks J

He is lying theres no way that stock bottom end ls1 is making that power without any nitrous etc... Even through an M6 much less an A4 maybe 480 with those mods. Thats WAY too much money cash for that with those miles even considering the mods are all on the cheap side nothing top notch.

$12,000 is way too high for a modded F-body with over 133,000+ miles on the body (I'm sure I did my metric conversion correct). Even if you got the seller down into the $8,000 or $9,000 area you will most likely be putting serious money into this car. No getting around it. These high mileage modded cars require money!! Then what? You have way too much $$$ into a car that you may only get $7,000 for if you need to sell it. Very few are paying extra money for modded cars unless they are pristine low mileage examples. Be smart and be careful!
