Too many miles for A-Trim?

Stang_Crazy · 06-01-2002, 08:24 PM

Hey guys, my motor has 62k miles on the stock block. The engine is in great shape and runs really strong but are 62k miles too many to throw on a supercharger? I was hoping to get a Vortech A-Trim or Novi 1000 this winter and wanted to make sure that my motor will handle it. If I were to get a blower, it would be running at 5-7 psi. So what do you think? Will everything be ok?

I know I need a new fuel pump, fpr, injectors, and probably some little stuff but I just wanted to make sure my engine could handle the boost.

Should be fine, but I would still do a wet and dry compression test first just to see how worn the rings are.

Take care,
