High mileage cam install I have a 98z, it has about 76000 miles on it and i wanted to install headers trex cam fast intake and other little bolt ons. I was wondering if all the bolt ons and especially the cam would hurt the motor considering it has alot of miles. Thanks would really appreciate anybodys input.
I got my cam put in, and I'm well over 100k. Didnt change timing belt or oil pump though, may do that later. If the timing belt is tight, I wouldnt worry about it. If you have good oil pressure, same thing there unless you have the money to spend on it. At the time I did mine, I didnt have it.

I plan on installing a cam only next year w/anticipated 75K miles.........bottom end should be fine despite the high mileage. You'll be changing springs out in 30K anyhow, so you may consider an engine rebuild after 100K miles. If you aren't experiencing power loss, or leakage issues, GO FOR IT!

We will meet at the parking lot beside Red Robin in Peoples Plaza. Aim to be there by 7:15, so we can be ready to head out as soon as the southern caravan meets us. We'll probably head up Pleasant Valley Rd to hit I95.
