Default 100 shot on a high mileage LS1 good idea or bad?
ok, i'm thinking about getting a 100 wet plate shot on my LS1 with 192,000 miles but i'm scared i might tear something up with that mileage. should i spend $400 on the kit or put it elsewhere?

First Owner? History of abuse? Well maintained?

I have ran 100 shot on my 239,000 mi. 6.0 6-8 times down the 1380. Still holding to gather. I would say give her hell.

Since your an auto your gonna have to be careful. You should be more worried bout that tranny going out than the motor.

haha I noticed the same thing.

Honestly if the car has a strong maintenance record, I wouldn't hesitate to spray it.

as long as its maintained itll be fine
