That kind of timing adjustment on an NA engine suggests to me this thing is built rather stupidly and the price is asinine. We have a member here with a verified 10 second street TA that would run rings around that, who has had it for sale for years at $10K. The fact there are no details on that 550hp engine should raise a big old BS flag as well.

Email the seller and I bet the details you get make that car fit perfect in this thread.

Some guys think that if you put $10K into a $5K car it's worth the sum or more. But the truth is the more it's modded, the less it's worth until the car hits collector car status. Which for our cars is still at least a decade away if not longer if it every really happens.

Since this is the year 2014, and everyone has a camera phone you'd think some of this documentation of 500/550hp figures could be disclosed...

I KNEW IT!!! its gotta be the ticket!

Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Manifolds For Chevy LT1/LT4
CHEVROLET LT1 AND LT4 V8
RPM AIR-GAP (1500-6500 RPM)
Utilizing the proven short runner tunnel-ram style, both of these manifolds provide the next step up in performance for LT1 and LT4 owners. These are both direct stock replacements for OEM equipment with all required emissions features. Our patented Air-GapTM design delivers a cooler and denser air stream for maximum power output. These intake manifolds are designed to work with either our 52mm throttle body #3809 or 58mm throttle body #3810. They also accept early and late OEM LT1 throttle bodies and fuel rails. #7113 is designed to match #61905/#61919 LT1 cylinder heads, and #7109 is designed for #61929/#61939 LT4 RPM cylinder heads. Both will also work with OEM LT1 and LT4 heads with minor head port matching.
