I'm looking at the Saleen Series IV blower at 8lbs. My 2002 GT has 60K miles currently. I won't be racing it (much) just wondering if it's safe to boost a 60K motor? Also since I'm in CA will it be smog legal? Thanks

If it matters, I'm going to twin turbo my '03 with 65k on it.

You should be ok with a good tune. Its hard to say whether the engine will hold up, but I've heard of people with much higher mileage than that putting blowers on, with good results.

At 8 pounds max, you should be just fine, unless you are doing the GumBall 3000 or something.

Boost is a risk on any engine regardless of the mileage.
