Default BLOWN Z06 fuel issue...????

well i have a dilema, and im hoping you guys can help.

i am in the process of buying a 2002 Z06 with an A&A P1sc kit.
here are the stats....

-22K miles on car
-6K on blower, 6psi
-LPE pump, 42lb inj.

after install of blower, car made 560+/-rwhp.
so A&A de-tuned it to 535rwhp 475rwtq.

now, i test drove the car., and damn it is fast! everything seems fine.
so i have the seller take the car to A&A to have in inspected and make sure that is still making 500+rwhp.

so they get it on the dyno and they said it was running out of fuel in the top end. so they only ran it up to 5800rpm. and only saw 480rwhp.
so i talk to ANDY and he thinks its just the pump, and it should be an easy fix.

my question is, what do you guys think. the seller doesnt want to put any $$$ in the car. he wants to sell it as is, what do i do?

how much to have a new fuel pump and maybe a BAP installed a Z06?
and is there anything else i should be lookin at?
and what shoul the car be upgraded with?

other than this the car is great? and runs great.

any insight, info would be great!

thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!

How bad do you want the car. I am new to the performance side with f/i. So cost on upgrades to a new fuel pump and what not I can't help with. If you like to car enough and really enjoy it then pay what the person wants for it. If your hesitant about buying it with these issues call a local shop and ask what it may cost to fix and use it to make your offer.

Minimize your downside. Offer to pay for the repairs, and offer to buy the car, less the cost of repairs if it works. If unknown problems surface during the repair, re-negotiate or walk away, and consider yourself lucky.
