Mileage on engine / supercharging

[HASE]

I have an 06 GT with 58k on the clock.
How many miles is too many before supercharging?
I am not looking for 450 horse. High 300's would be nice...

58K is nothing to be concerned with.

more depends on the maintance , how often do you change the oil? are you still on the stock timing componants? stock lash adjusters? 100k before id be real worried, unless you dog the piss out of it and go a long time between oil changes.

470rwhp with 94,000 miles Haven't had that kind of power to long yet, so we will see.

My 05 GT was SC making 420+RWHP at 8#'s of boost.. I took the SC off at 111K miles and it still runs just fine.

I've thought about supercharging my car now that I'm about to head down and make the last car payment in an hour. It just hit 99k miles. I know I've kept up with the maintenance on it so I wouldn't be worried. Even after the numerous nitrous passes at the track I've had. only thing stopping me is me thinking it's be a waste of money for me since I could use that money towards my next car or truck in a year or so.

I'd take a chance on my car with it, so no reason to think 50k miles is anything at all if you've taken care of it and get a good tune.

I wouldn't have a problem supercharging an engine with 200,000 miles on it, as long as the oil is clean, has good compression, and runs great.

Mileage isn't the issue, it's condition and maintenance. An engine car be just as worn at 40k miles as it can be at 200k.

I think it is all in the tune... and maintaining good high octane gas...my engine w/ 10k blew w/ just 480 rwhp w/ good a/f's and timing at 18 degrees. I am pretty sure crappy gas was the problem...I heard some pinging once but simply thought it was something else ????since it was barely noticable... but it prematurely damaged my engine... and kaboom about 3 months later
