Default 110k miles with H\C\I

What do you guys think. My cobra has around 110k miles it. It runs perfect, no noises, doesnt burn any oil. My neighbor who helps me work on my car has been a gearhead since he was 12 and is about 51 now. He believes that my bottom end has too many miles on it and me putting H\C\I on my car is going to do nothing other than wear out my bottom end real fast. I was thinking about buying the TRICK FLOW setup from summit. They say at the crank my 302 should make around 350 horse. It sounds like a great idea to me but i dont want to worry about my car dieing in a few thousand miles. Thanks for the info

toss it on and when it does go youll already have the parts on there

buddy has steeda 18 cam installed at 175k miles and had the cobra intake on there for 80k miles now. no signs of wear and cam has about 3k on it now

his motor also looked new, he changed oil every 2k miles also

but every car is different. personally i would do it and just see how it goes.. its a 302 and can last a long time unlike some other brands of motors

roller motors are very durable. if a compression check looks good then put it on.

110K is not that much. Do the compression check and see if every is good if so go for it! Good luck and let us know how it goes
