depends on what kind of condition your 100k mile engine is in. With that many miles, you might wanna go ahead and consider doing a rebuild at he same time or just do a comp/test making sure its got good numbers and wish for the best. Good Luck.

well i jes got a hrc stg 2 and i have 160k. its all about compression. if you get good compression than your pistans and rings can handle the boost and it should be fine as long as you take care of her.
