Is this guy pulling my chain?
You all tell him to run but he says he has all the receipts from the shop that built the motor car. Depending on what it looks like and how much he wants. It could be a steel. 440 is on the high side IMO but none the less it doesnt sound all that bad to me.
440rwhp is not "the high side" that is a complete pipe dream fabrication from what we see here.
The tune obviously needs work, the compression is only moderately high, the cam is NOT up to such a task. The shortblock is cheap, so given all that we have no reason to think the heads are anything special.
I would honestly be surprised if it made 400rwhp.
Again 440rwhp is possible, but this is not an example of how.

^ Agreed. There isn't much to that build list for power adding. Sounds more like a budget rebuild built to take some nitrous, and to sound like a bling motor.
I'd say 440 on the spray.

Yeah dude who builds a car, finishes, then doesn't get the tune right? And now he's selling it? Sounds like BS. It COULD be the car is running way too rich, so it needs the extra air to start up, but it could also be other things.
Tell him to get it tuned. If the tune fixes the issue, pay for the tune on top of the price for the car. He should be totally fine with that. If he's not, you know somethings wrong.
As far as the HP #'s go there is no way that build is making 440rwhp all motor either. 400rwhp would be a good solid number out of that setup N/A.
