Default 2001 GT (auto) S/C ?

I have a 2001gt (auto) was thinking of getting a crate motor but after reading all these forums i was thinking S/C the only problem is i have 70k on the motor and didnt think a S/C would be a good thing on a 70k motor. has anyone put a S/C on a motor with high miles and had it last ?

day dark is that your s281 saleen? if so is it S/C there is a dealer by me with one i think there asking 42k but its not S/Ced i was woundering if its worth the 14k over the gt if its not S/Ced ? i realy like the saleen because there isnt many on the road like the GT just worred im getting riped off for 30ex hp over the gt please let me know how you like it and if you have any regrets not getting the S/Ced one. I know you can always ad it but for me it would be after the warranty was up and then id be in the same boat like with my 2001gt with 70k but id like to know your input on the s281 compared to the gt .thanks for your time and very nice car

Yes it's the N/A one. I don't have any regrets because I made a vow to myself over 8 years ago that I'd own a Mustang Saleen one day and I saved and saved and finally bought it. Is it much faster than a regular GT? Nah, not at all (if any). But would is it worth the extra $? To me, yes, I've always wanted a Saleen. But practically, nah, it probably isn't worth $16k+ for wheels and tires, short throw, underdrive pullies, suspension, a body kit and othe misc. odds and ends, unless you truly want a Saleen just because it's a Saleen. If you want a fast car, buy a GT and put the extra $ into modding the hell out of it.
