the only thing that seems fishy is 880 injectors, with a single '255gph' that makes 600hp on 93. and it doesnt tell you what clutch/transmission.

Not 100% sure, but aren't 880cc injectors only good for like low 500's? And he's claiming to have 600. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not 100% sure on it, but 880's seem low for that amount of HP

EDIT: Damn, you beat me to it shrtstuff89

but maybe he does make 600hp...since his walbro flows 255 gallons per hour

I've heard of more than a few people having not-so-good experiences with APM and the injector choice is definitely questionable for that build.

The car looks nice and all, and it's got a ****load of work done to it, but if he's lying about the injectors and/or HP numbers, what else could he be lying about?

But then again, who knows, maybe it was a type-o and he accidentally hit a 6 instead of 5. I don't want to tell you no don't buy it, but look into it a little bit more. If you're a serious buyer, he shouldn't have any problems with answering questions about it.

You can't be serious no wonder TBR thinks you're a tool

All and all the car sounds good on paper. I agree with it needing more injector but... Personally I would never buy a car that modified
