Default when to stop...

Hey I gotta question for you guys. I have an 04GT with 55k on the clock. Right now I have pretty much full boltons minus headers and tb/plenum. I also have 4:10gears. I'm just wondering if its worth it to mod further, like F/A for example?

Will I run into problems with any future mods due to the miles on the car? The car is taken care of (oil changes and such) and a lot of the miles are highway, but I dont want to invest more money if the car will start getting "tired" soon.

Thanks for any suggestions/answers!

i would supercharge a car with a lot more miles then what you have, alot of the guys are supercharging cars with over 100k and arent worried.

as long as the motor is strong dont look back

you could s/c your car with no problems as long as you dont try to push over 450 hp and have a safe tune done. anything over that and you should invest in a forged short block from a reputable engine builder.
