wait, you bought this car and have no idea what is in it? did the guy not give you a list? kinda shady if you ask me, and 525 rwhp is a hell of a monster and a lot of stuff done, this guy should have given you a long list of mods

Sounds like you should have done a lot more research.

When you say "525 hp", I assume you meant flywheel horsepower. Nobody around here talks in flywheel horsepower because it is almost never measured. We speak in terms of what you see on a dyno and what you make where the tires meet the street, which is rear wheel horsepower. 525 flywheel would be a bit over 400 rwhp, which would require a good setup with a decent cam.

How do you expect us to tell you anything??? Look at any parts you can for names/markings, contact the previous seller, etc. Only way we can try to help is if you get some good pictures up.

Take some pics of the engine bay, etc. Look for names on stuff as was previously stated.

Pics won't do much since the majority of the work would be internal
engine mods...unless it's a forced induction or nitrous car.

Dont you think that 24% driveline loss is a bit much? I always figured 15% for M6 stock rear, +2% for 12-bolt, 4% for 9'' and 20% for auto. So a 400 rwhp car with an m6 and 10 bolt should be about 470 fwhp. Just my .02

Personally, I smell troll... but that aside...

If it is truly 525+ hp, I give it a week before it's broken or wrapped around a pole.

Kinda scary to think someone would buy a car with that much power and not know what is in it. Good luck trying to keep it running.
