I know I`m not rich in the post category, but 16 psi + a 20g doesnt make 340whp. It`s barely efficient at that psi, unlike a 14b or 16g. Also - Why 550`s for all that? Any number of posts on here will show you that 550`s are maxed out (100% idc) around 300-325 whp.

And what they said about buying a built car with ~`$20k` in to too.

Thats why I'm telling him to steer clear.

Hell, if you've got 5k to spend on a DSM you could keep your eye out for a clean 1G with a decent body in unmolested condition for $1500-$2500. You'd still have enough money left over to do some tasteful upgrades instead of paying for someones already on the car. There are better deals out there.

I agree with all of them. Just wait.
