Question 100k ?

I'm about to hit 100k. And i'm going to have it paid off about the same time so i'll be putting a hpe package and so forth on with my extra $. It runs really good but with 100k there is always room for improvement. I want it tip top before I throw a few grand into it. Opinions? Ignition coils? seafoam? Tint?lol

I just hit 100k in my car as well. I had it checked out by my friend who's a technician, and he said everything looked great. like 5_02ls1 said, as long as its been maintained, you should have no problem. happy modding!

As stated before.....If maintained well.........you don't have much of anything to worry about.

Seamfoam is a God Send, my car ran like a dream after a simple seafoam, don't overdue it though.

Normal maintenance and you should have no problems. Just keep and eye on everything and keep driving the wheels of it.

If you really worried about the health of your engine, have a leak down test done. If it shows up healthy.. get on with the Mod's. !

If the results are questionable (valves, rings, etc).. reconsider what mod's you are going to do as a short term improvement (bolt on like headers, duels, intake, etc) that you can reuse after a rebuild (or short/long block). Save your $$ and get a 402/408 and go from there.

I seafoamed my car at about 119k and it didn't smoke very much at all(only 2 puffs of white smoke)...I guess it has been pretty well maintained
