Default Anyone spray with over 70k miles?

As the title states, I would like to know how the ls1 motors stand up to nitrous with higher miles. Like a 150 shot a long as the fuel system is there, etc. I have a 91 mustang with 105k on it and it takes a 100 shot over and over agian no problem. I just would like to know how the ls1's stand up to it ebfore I make a decision to buy one.

I've got a buddy spraying an NX 150 shot w/ 145K on his 98. No problems..

Make sure your oil stays full, and fuel pressure is good....then spray the **** out of it.

what else does he have done to make this safe? does he have fuel upgrades? timing tuner? window switches?

im getting a nitrous kit soon, so i need to know how to make it extremely safe, considering this is my daily driver and i have no money to fix it if i blow it up

if you want safe, Id invest in another nitrous selenoid and run them inline with eachother. you dont want the nitrous to stick open. Although I havent done this yet, id say its some added insurance for another 80 bucks...

most defintily sapray it!! as long as it is in good health as it is now you will have no issues... its when you start goign larger and larger on the shot things start going awry... just stay with the kit MFG's specs and you will be fine... use good gas and different plugs and you will be fine.
