Wierd. It says bar-and-plate in the description, but he also said it has rounded tubes, which are usually tube-and-fin or extruded tube. It sure doesn't look like a bar-and-plate from the pics. The core is a bit thin at only 2 7/8, but the 10.5" helps to somewhat make up for it. I really can't see that little core being used on a 900hp car. It isn't going to have a lot of flow area with those thin little tubes and at 2 7/8 x 10.5 it has overall flow area than a 3.5" x 8" Buschur street core. It would probably be rated for about 500hp, but you can often push things like that past it's rated numbers.

Anyways, the price is right and it should work for what you want. You can probably get the piping for it from SLS. SLS has a whole street core kit that you might want to check out also.

Not a bad price, but I don't think I would spend the cash without knowing for sure about the core and maybe ask them who made it if they will say. Like Allan mentioned, we can get cores that would put you comparable in price with end tanks made exactly like you want. SLS probably can hook you up pretty well also. At least in either of those cases, you could say how thick you wanted it to be and be more specific on the size.

Either way, I would email the seller and find out for sure what it is.
