people on this forum have supercharged their engines with well over 100k miles on them with no problems. don't be afraid. unless you didn't take care of your car for all of those miles.

yea its been kept up good. i want a vortech instead of a kb cuz i want a little more up top because most of my races are on the highway so i dont need as much bottom end. nanaki what mods and do you have and what numbers aer you runing cuz i know you have a vortech. thanks

yea, its ok to have 100k on the engine if it was well taken care of. i would replace minor things though if the motor started having major problems. i think the cobra motors have about the same limits on them and cant take as much boost because of having higher compression.

thanks i just didnt want to blow the motor the first couple months afer i put it in. racer what mods do you have and what kind of s/c do you have. you have the number i want. also about how much was put into it to get that. thanks

ive got the stang on a daily driver tune also that is tuned down to 408rwhp... having 440rwhp for extended periods of time can mess up the motor and blow it. the limit of the stock internals is 450rwhp and 440.1rwhp is really close.

thanks. was the cost of that with installation too or just the parts?
