If I buy a 1987 Ford Mustang with 120K miles on it, then proceed to buy a supercharger kit for it. Maybe throw a set of headers on and some other goodies. Then maybe a 20% pully on the spuercharger.



I think I should be able to get about 400 to the wheels.











How long do you think the engine will last??

Is it becoming too easy to choose what to drive in the morning, you need to throw another rig into the mix LOL



Yer gonna be like me, walk to the garage, look at the bike, look at the truck, look at the car, start to get confused hide in a corner.

Well adding a ton of HP to a motor with 120K miles will probably end up breaking something before too long I would think. Though if it breaks sooner than expected, no big deal, you'll have to rebuild it anyways. I'm curious, how many miles would you see if you had a new motor and built it up like that? 150K maybe?

Jim I had a beautiful mustang I would have given you a year ago! LOL 5.0 Motor only had 65K too.

My buddy in WA did that with his 89, he got about 6,000 miles on it, but he beat the **** out of it.

65K miles?? Too low.. I need to see over 100K miles before I start to mod the hell out of it. That engine is too new.





BTW - I am not doing this it's hypothetical. I am making a point here. Have you figured it out yet?

I haven't figured it out. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif I'm not even sure what day it is though either.

V8 swap joke? Am I close?

i believe he's venturing into debunking the whole "rotaries love to pop" myth.

Ding Ding Ding!!



I was podering some tuning options on my wifes car. Not planning them just wondering. I looked at the odomter...hmmm.. 50K miles.. almost too many. Wait! Its a Piston car and I am thinking 50K miles are too many??



People buy RX-7's every day with 100K + miles on them and start modding the hell out of them. Then they pop and they are pissed???



ANY Engine with high milage has no business being highly modded especially forced induction.



Agree?
