Default is it safe to spray with over 100,000 miles

the reason being because my cousin is going to give me a wet kit for free but my car has 117,000 miles, and i really dont want to wear that bitch out too quick or blow my motor. since gforce motorsports has a good deal on tuning right now i will get the car tuned with the nitrous if it is safe. let me know guys, and i dont know how to tell if the motor is worn out other than oil pressure and it stays at 40 if that helps

taht is a lot of miles, it really depends on how the motor has been treated. personally, i'd do a compression test to make sure everything is ok. if it is, then go for it.

I started to spray my car with 110k miles on it. Ran like a champ. even with heads, cam 150 tnt shot. Made over 550 rwhp like two years ago. Just make sure you have a good tune for your setup, and you change oil regualrly and you will be good to go.
