ya man go for it. check the compression and if everything checks out than through it on!!! i have 120k on my bottom end right now and if i had the money i wouldn't think twice about slappin on a blower. a new engine can blow just as easy as an old one if u drive like jeff gordon all the time.

OMG DU ETTTTTTT. 100k is fine as long as its an engine that has been routinely maintenanced. Absolutely no different than throwing it on at 50k. Just pull the trigger and have fun! Just put a down-payment on a used KB today myself. Hoping to be destroying the rubber along with you KB fellas soon.

Good idea about the compression check, I'll do that for sure before I click buy!

lol! No, I'll need another month or two for the dollars to come in but it will come for sure. I had a Kenne Bell on my last car (Mazda Tribute 3.0L V6) so I'll definitely have one on my Mustang!

I put one on my car at around 100,000 miles, I say go for it.

Mustang NTriangle: I believe that I met you the other day when you dropped your ride off at MPE, you had the convertable silver GT correct? I was the one with the mineral grey 01' GT, with the livernois motor on the engine stand awaiting transplant.
