Found a Renntech SL65 NEED HELP !!!

Car looks to be a fully built car and the owner bought it that way. It is on the West Coast and I would like to know if there is a way to find out what was done to this thing.

That was one healthy *** SL65. I would've tuned that beast and post up at mid 10s on DRs like the king of the hill.
