Default what to do at 132k miles

We are wanting to add some serious performance to our TA now that its parked in the garage. At such high mileage, should we take it to a place like LMR and buy a package or buy a crate motor?
We are looking to get 500+ HP

Yeah I would go to LMR , I don't about G force though. I don't think the miles are that high. I would suggest nitrous with your package

They are both good shops.. If your going for 500+ horsepower they will probably replace all the worn parts anyways.

I would spray it until it breaks, then upgrade. You could also go turbo til it breaks and then go forged. If you decide to go that route, just hold off on upgrading anything that will get damaged if a rod let's go (heads).

I think you'll be surprised at how durable these engines are. Good luck!
