If I had to take a guess, with a good tune, and the only thing holding you back being the LS1 intake...around 450rwhp+
From that list it sounds like it ought to be a beast, I vote for videos!

its not my car but one im looking at buying if it isnt sold yet, He said it dynoed 401 rwhp 350 tq thru a yank 4400 stall also has STOCK intake injectors and throttle body I bet if i added a good FAST intake good injectors and good throttle body should wake it up

its needs a ls6 intake at lest,a fast would be better.bigger injectors also .it should make 425 hp.I have never herd of titanium push rods,I think they run titanium springs in prostock,not cheap.dose he have reciepts?
Please be careful with this car... I almost bought it and spoke to him and he wasn't exactly the most forthcoming with the details on it. It had a massive leak from the rear main seal, which last I heard from him he was still working on replacing. While that's not a deal breaker, there's no telling how low on oil that car got before he caught it....

dose he have the title and all paper work?dose he owe on it ?where is the loan from?could be a scam,gets a down payments and disappears with your money.dose he live at the address where the car is registered at?
accidentally deleted my post... anyways...
how much was he asking for it, and the mileage? if that seal is still leaking & you're really interested in buying it then you should get a quote from a shop to have it changed professionally. then you could offer him the asking price minus the quote, if you wanted.
if it was dyno-tuned I'd expect anywhere from 385-415 rwhp depending on the dyno. keep in mind it's an automatic so it's not going to be a dyno queen as some others are saying 450+ upgraded to a better intake, maybe on a m6 car. 450 is very possible though with those mods & a fast 90 & 1 7/8" headers on a dynojet.

You can leave. he is not a scammer so thanks for your valued opinion. These cars have low oil lights so it couldn't have got to low. He will tell you what you need to know about it. The car was sold guy picked it up then there was a problem with the bank so he was forced to pick it back up, he had already purchased another car so needs to sell this one in a hurry. I will direct him to this thread.
