Stock trans.......Aint Holding 580Hp!!!!!!

Sounds like a street truck to me. Id try and get the price droped down a bit if ya can....espacally since you have to traier it home!!!!

The fix's arent that expensive at all, should only take an afternoon to get it going.

Ditch the injectors and get a real set of sticks! Then a good 5K GSK and a better trans and it should be fun to go out a get some hooks in!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I don't believe the mods listed equal up to 580 hp, not by a long shot.

yea i will look and take pics then post on here. I not worried bout the tranny cause i got an allison layin around plus a nv 5600 and 4500 so i not worried but dont wanna use one of them on a pullin truck just yet prob but the allison in it. You think it would hold? Wats a good set of injectors to run? why dont i wanna run 370's?

Not enough mods to make that much hp that is claimed, especially with the stock auto tranny, I think that turbo is to small to get that much power even with a benched pump and built tranny, and if you did egts would be sky high especially with those lazer cuts. If the rest of the truck is in perfect condition then I would maybe get it but from what he has told you and what is done to the truck I wouldnt even bother with it, cuz who knows what else is wrong, and that is not even close to a pulling truck set up. Also the marine 370's are just that for a marine engine not a pickup truck so the spray pattern is different. They are cheap injectors and do give you a good boost in power, but they run hot and are smokey.

with that set up, if the trans holds it, maybe 400. but a complete stock trans wont hold 400 hp for a pull, no way. the reason u probably cant drive it home is because the trans is shot. id stay away from it. either make him fix the hub before u buy it, and test drive it, or stay away
