Yes stock hu. Mosconi make's one of the baddest if not the best processor out on the market ....called a 6to8. .Most high end shops don't carry or keep this line, but it you ever go this route/level.....go all the way or not at all. I don't sell my vehicle's every few year's or so (just me), buta prized gift to myself which I plan to keep for 10-15 years minimum. ..can't wait..
