Looks super cheap...lets see how much it hits when the auction ends though, but yeah for $600 I'd buy it...I think.

The parts look decent but you know somebody is gonna come along and bid it up at the end. I'd be surprised if it goes for under $3K.

tuning can't make fuel volume happen magically. if you went low boost, think in the 4-5psi range, you coudl get away with a good pump, raised fuel pressure, and tuning.
even at that it woudl be better/smarter/safer to up the injectors so you are easier on parts.
