Default Is it bad to mod with high miles.

depends on the mods, if its just average bolt ons than it should be fine. if you want to run f/i or make some serious power unless its in superb condition you might start breaking stuff faster than a lower milage car.

nope. 50-70k isn't that bad. 4.6's have long lives generally. they are workhorse engines.

Maybe a little n2o like a 75 shot? How bad would this be?

50-70k is not bad. 100+K is bad to start modding because then anything can go after that
