So the owner did answer my questions, he was sort of reluctant which I found odd. So:
"
This reads like you a doubter,,,
LS2 engine - air intake and exhaust system upgraded. Shaw GMC claimed 500hsp, I did not check it out, as Im not spending 350.00 to a high performance sports shop to have it checked out. It comes with a 400hsp as stock,, it definitely was upgraded.
Im second owner, bought from Shaw GM, original owner did up grades including colour on leather and interior.
No liens, no accidents, Im buying a BMW6 Convertible - M-series, that should answer all your doubts,, maybe and was from Lethbridge.
You should come and see it if your that much in doubt!"
So I can't believe that an air intake and exhaust resulted in a 25% hp gain. I seem to remember that the Vararam for the LS 7 was something in the neighbourhood of 26 hp and I wouldn't expect much more for an exhaust to be honest. So maybe 450 hp. I'd have thought it would have been retuned as well but no mention of that.
It is not that I am in doubt but just want to have as clear a picture of what I might be considering purchasing. Just trying to be prudent...........
So I asked him a few more questions and we'll see if he answers.
Cheers,
Garry
