well 95k is a lot but i have seen it done change your head gaskets while you are at it, also keep in mind that yah it might blow, no idea how much abuse was in those 95k miles

It's always inherent that with high mileage, you're bound to break something, just use caution, and don't go over the recommended 7psi on your stock engine... Start out small, with a couple lbs of boost... Gradually step it up.. It's a good idea to replace your head gaskets, and don't forget HIGH OCTANE Gas...

Also, you live in Mass., the air is nice and cool up there, but I'd still use an intercooler. It's just a smart idea to reduce predetonation..

Lets put it this way. What are the two possible reasons you would want a supercharger? One, more power. Two, to use that power. There's a top half and bottom half. You can't add real hp to only one half. Personally I think you'd be making a mistake if you did it.
