So i bought this magnum is this a joke or what is the deal here

I thought the s980 has 80 watts but then it has the heat sink and the seller is stating its a 175 watt radio so where do i get more info on this set up..

That radio is no joke. So long as someone hasn't put their hands into it to modify a radio than requires nothing done to it to begin with, it should work very well for you. Fine as is.
 
It looks as if someone put an sx-175 power cabinet on that s980. It would be totaly possible to do, lesters customs installs them on galaxy radios. Or maybe they just bolted the heat sink on to make it look good:) I would verify the output on a meter to be sure.
