Anyone put a blower on their high mileage (over 130k) Mustang? Even though the 302 is a pretty tough motor, I heard it's not a good idea. Do you think a basic 5psi kit would harm a high mile (but well maintained) mustang?

I think you should run a compression test on all cyclinders first. It's not as important what they each have necessarily, as long as they're within 10% of each other. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people on stangnet who have blowers on high-mileage motors. I wouldn't push over 6 lbs, though.

Do what TheUser said and you should be ok. I was planning on a blower for my 120K+ motor, but decided I didn't want the matinence and got heads instead.
