looks like a pretty good package with quality parts. Car should run very well if it's tuned correctly. That is a pretty good sized cam for a LS1 but should not have problems as long as tuning is done correctly. Its mainly going to be street top end cam. My car has a 233/239 cam and I could if i wanted DD the car no problem.
Don't buy the car if you are looking to get great gas mileage out of it. This is not the car for you. although since it's an M6 it will be better than an automatic.

yea everything seems pretty good about the car .. it was put together and tuned by the vette doctors .. so im gonna assume that the tune is pretty good ..but yet i dont wanna get like 10 mpg either lol .. but i def wanna get some form of an LS1
#4
its been awhile since I put a full tank of gas in my gar since its a weekend warrior but unless you get on your car every straigt away you should way better than 10mpg lOL. I would go for it. Those are quality parts and tune seems to be good. These LS1's are addicting so be prepared to start modding. lOL!

In the lower RPMS all LS1's when they put even a mild cam in there deals with Reversion and fuel economy will suffer somewhat. Also a Lead foot does not help. For your case, HONESTLY. I would considere something that is a 228/230 or in that range as it will make decent power and be fun to drive from idle to 4k and when you throttle up the power will be there. On a m6/10 bolt 2002 mine would have been make 390-400 rwhp which not a peak monster like MS3/4 or T-rex but is quite fun to drive.

Last time I checked I bought my car to haul *** not get good gas mileage But seriously seems like a pretty good deal, don't know what you're paying for it, but I wouldn't be too worried about the higher mileage. There is no life span on a motor they are all different! Good luck either way

Just sell them and get good lowering spring and more importantly good shocks (make all the difference in the world, its like driving a totally different car, think BMW).

90K is nothing on these motors if the car is well maintained. It is the window motors and rearends that will drive you crazy
That car is modded with some quality parts and if not beat on I would haggle for the best price and jump on it

thanx guys appreciate the input !! i thought 9500 was a pretty good price given the year 93k miles and the mods done to it .. since now it seems that the miles arent really considered high on this car im hopefully gonna check this monster out sometime this week !!

Price seems reasonable for sure but as far as gas mileage I usually get about 230-250 miles per tank city driving with a few bolt ons. They do better than what people say.
