150,000 miles and boost
Im trying to decide if i should supercharge my car. it has 150k on the clock and runs very well. I will be doing a compression check before hand, and i will be running 7-8 psi as well as installing the crank vents. I know that forced induction is going to greatly reduce the life span of any motor, and with my high mileage i dont have alot of room to play with. just wanted to see if theres anyone out here with mileage past or near 150k. and still running forced induction.

128k 772whp on race fuel and 590whp on pump gas. Been turbo at 500+whp for 30k miles.
enjoy!
enjoy!
Guessing keeping on top of service intervals with oils and all that just keeps it in tip top?? no rebuild or nothing?
the motor is untouched aside from the headgasket. stock valves, springs, retainers. stock pistons, rods, rings, head bolts. has 127k original miles on it.

i have about 55-60k miles on my boosted ap2 motor. I have some blowby and have gone through 3 headgaskets, but the motor still runs strong. You'll break everything else on the car before you blow the actual block, as long as you keep up with maintenance.
