:beer::beer:Today my car turned 100,000 miles. She runs stronger than when new. I feel bad I never had it at the track or beat on it. I've done a few mods but she desperatly needs more maybe a supercharger or at least a high stall converter. What do you think ?

I feel the same way as long as I keep the boost at reasonable level.

you could probly get away with a 3.4 upper on an eaton, so long as you dont mind removing some if not all of the hood liner.

If I had to cut a hole in the hood for this mod that would be ok by me. I would just put a plastic buble over it and give it a name.

LOL you wont need a bubble. but the hood line would probably definity have to go.

Do not put a blower on a 100,000 mile engine. You could blow it. At 100,000 miles my engine had 500 miles on it since I replaced it with the intention of forced induction. There have been people on here with over 100,000 miles on their blowers so maybe it's ok. Either way, it's a risk... but so worth it! :D

Congrats! Mine turned 100k last week Oct. 13. When I bought it in 2006 with 34,700, I told myself I wouldn't put more than 50,000 mi on it but that idea went out the window pretty quick. I can't stop driving it!
