Default How many miles did your LSX vehicle have on it when modded?

How many miles did your car have on it when it was modded for the first time? I'm looking to get a 98-02 Z28 / Trans Am, and just wanted to see how many miles were on the car when it was modded.

I'm probibly going to find one with about 100K miles on it, and just wanted to see how everyones cars held up to mods (Bolt-ons & internals).

Did bolt ons at 90k, and cam at 100k... still going strong, recent dyno had it still running a spot on AFR and identical power to a year ago when I got it tuned after the cam.

When I had mine I put all the bolt-ons at 56K. LS1's are tough motors....then again they're just like every other motor, if they're not taken care of then they fail. Just make sure it's in good running condition and you'll be good to go.

I think the owner before me put the exhaust on at around 3,000 miles.

Can't remember exactly when he said.

Sweet! I'm basically looking to do full exhaust, and then possibly a cam in a year or so after I get it.
