My car has 56,000 miles on it and is completely stock, performance wise. I've been juggling the idea of throwing on a S/C, but am kind of worried due to mileage.
Do you guys think that my engine, clutch, and differential will be able to handle the power of a S/C? Should i try doing a compression check or anything before hand?
Also, i remember on the first page...someone mentioned that if you have a '00, you should update the oil jet bolts to the new ones. Is this really necessary for a car that will be a daily driver and not see the track? If it is, is it an easy job to install the new bolts myself in my garage?

I wouldn't be too concerned. As long as the car is in good condition and has been well maintained it should be ok.
Just make sure you don't abuse it once the SC is on. That goes for a car with 560 or 56K miles.

I love my Vortech, it was like the rebirth of VTEC all over.
Stay Cool
