Default 98 TA w/ 6.0 & vortect s/c thoughts?

Hey guys i found a 98 TA that got a 6.0 swap in it with a Vortec s/c. The owner claims it has been tuned with the 6.0 was swapped in and then when the s/c was put on. The car has a new trans and 145k on the body. Unknown miles on the motor & s/c. Here what else is on it. hooker headers, 3 inch flowmaster exhaust, Bigger injecters, Eibach springs , lowered , extra holley fuel pump

The car needs the headlight covers and the dash is cracked like they all are.

Do you guys see any problems with it? Does the 98 pcm allow you to get over 15# of boost? And im also not sure if its a iron block or aluminum block (ls2).

Heres a few pics of it. He is asking 6k.

My dash is not cracked, nor is any of my buddies f-bodies. By aware of cars like this for so cheap. Make sure that you get someone who knows more about FI cars than you do to take a better look at it. The price is low and this person may be selling you a 6k headache.

I don't know that I've ever seen one in person with a cracked dash.

I've owned 6 4th gen f-bodies and all of them except my 96 TA the dash cracked on them, kept them clean and moist with armor all and similar interior products and they all still cracked and to the OP 6k for that seems way too good to be true be wary of buying someone elses issues
