Hey guys I'm thinking about purchasing this car from a guy in NY who says the motor was built by MTI back in 2007-08. The car has 13k miles, and the engine is as follows:

Motor is MTI Forged 347 with 9.5 Compression tuned for 93 Octane Wiseco Pistons and Manley Rods LS1 Stage II E Heads 6.0L G1 Camshaft with 115 LSA Pushrods 7.400 80 Millimeter Billet Throttle Body Vortech Supercharger with Powercooler Racetronix Intank Fuel Pump GM 7.5 inch Rear End with 3.42 Gears QTP Longtube Headers and Y Pipe Borla Catback Exhaust, The Transmission was built to handle 650RWHP by Century Transmission. Eibach Springs Baer Eradispeed Cross Drilled Rotors C5 Corvette PowderCoated Calipers Hotchkis Subframe Connectors

I am looking for your input on this setup; pros vs. cons, Reliability issues, or anything you want to comment on. It's in a '02 SS...Red w/ Fiske wheels

Sounds like it was built right, do you know if MTI built the entire car or just the short block? If MTI built the entire car I'd call them & get a run down from them as well. If you have the owners name it should be in their system for all the work done.
