Default To many miles for spray??

2000 formula car was completely stock when I got it minus the sweet sounding muffler delete. Now have long tubes ory lid 102tb. Car has 156k no motor noises lifter tick or anything of that nature. I have a zex 150 wet kit with full throttle switch. With the miles on the car should I be concerned about running a couple of bottles through it??

If the car is mechanically sounds and does not burn oil I would not be afraid to spray it.

I was having this same thought last summer when i bought my NX 150 wet kit with a plate. Car is a 99 Z28 vert 6 spd with 150k wqhen i installed it....like your running smooth no engine problems or anything no burning oil just perfectly sound! She has now been on spray since July 2012 and still no issues!! and im also running a LNC-2000 for timing retarder...i spray from 3000-6100rpm and haven't had any issues!

You should be fine. Just make sure you are adding enough fuel!

Agreed. Mechanically sound, is mechanically sound.

Transmission is fine? Driveline is fine too?

You sure can just as mentioned above by many make sure your car is good mechanically wise, get good plugs, wires, make sure fuel pump is working correctly along with injectors, no transmission issues such as slipping, and make sure engine is in good maintance.

jet it smaller to start and see if there are any bad signs. That many miles usually means looser bearing clearances and more ring wear. Any motor can handle some spray some of the time. Make sure you read your plugs and make sure your coolant is good and temps are under control.
