Anyone know anything about this 09 V.?

Jesse from wait4me has this setup. If I had to guess I would say this motor is from him and if it is the block is a 434 LSX block. I have a 434 LSX block with 6 bolt LSX LS7 heads and before I put my TT kit on I was running the stock blower. The stock blower fits on LS7 heads as long as you have a spacer.

Yeah it is one of our builds. There are over 150 of them out there running around.
If it is the ls7 heads, it does have a spacer setup we built, unless you are running one of our aftermarket superchargers "Black in color".
It is a 434 lsx engine, wiesco pistons, callies crank, and callies 1500hp rods.
Heads will be cnc ported with del west titanium valves.
I cant give out the customers name, but it was a nice build. Cam was in the 650 lift range if i remember right.
10pounds of boost.

so the real question is why was it traded in at a mercedes dealer? did some one get some kind of dope AMG car or does it have issues and was time to dump or was it beat to hell and dumped before it got issues...just weird to see a bad *** built car dropped off at a dealer like that

Wait4me...
Car runs fantastic, tune seems to be dead on...car is a puppy dog when not in boost.
My wife has even driven it and doesn't know the wiser.
Odd things....stock exhaust manifolds, definately no spacer on the heads, and there appears to be a spacer on the blower.
Thoughts.?

I also work for a dealer. I can tell you that in the 2 states I've worked in dealers (1200 miles apart) none gave more money on trade for a modified car. Typically they give LESS and send the car to auction. This is because of possible headaches within the specified/implied warranty period.
Say for example in this case:
Previous owner disclosed ALL info of vehicle. Dealer completed trade deal and sold car with a specified warranty. 1 month later, the custom built 434 ci motor decides it no longer likes the #5 rod and spits it out the block. That dealer is now responsible to have the same motor/specs/build type be put back between the fenders. Caddy won't fit the bill for a built motor, so it would be up to the dealer to man up. If they don't, it's an easy court case for the purchaser.
