Default The dreaded 100k

Now, I think this is mostly a mental thing, my car has been well taken care of...but but but I'm over the 100k mile mark Here are some pics to share this sad moment.


Anyways, do you guys think that nitrous or a S/C will be too much stress for a 100k car?

My motor had 101k on it when did the pi swap, then a few months later I added the procharger. that was over 2 years ago and nothing major has went wrong, just a cooling fan died once. So, if it has been taken care of and maintained I don't think a little spray or boost will hurt it as long as you keep it within the safe zone hp wise.

So either 8psi or a 75 shot should be more than ok?

If it's in good running order, 8psi or a 75 shot will be absolutely fine.

I would definantely agree with that! If you're going to do it, make it worthwhile.

75 shot would be ultra safe, and a 100-125 shot would be normal safe...if that makes sense! lol
