i boosted mine at 110k. I ran it to 160k before I rebuilt the turbo and forged the engine. I kept boost at 8psi and didn't go too crazy. I put new dual valve springs in at 80k for cam spring maintenance.

Thats good to know! I just thought if the body is good and i will build the engine anyways. Why not save some money up front on the car

im about to put a huron single kit on my 4th gen Z28 it has like 156k miles lol. I have seen cars over 200k boosted and they lasted quite a while as well. LOW boost

LS motors hold up pretty good with high mileage. As long as the motor still feels strong and you get a good tune on it you don't have to much to worry about. We've boosted many cars over here with 100+k on the odometer.
