i dont think the milage would matter as long is maintnence was kept up

i agree, the zetec is a strong motor and as long as your car is in good mechanical condition now u should be able to keep it that way. does your car burn any oil???

it doesnt burn any oil, it was and is well maintained. it actually runs excellent. im sure the clutch will not handle the power to long.

well, i'd say u have a motor thats optimum for forced induction then. the clutch will last as long as u treat it right and arent heating it up all of the time.

If the motor is in good shape and has no major issues, it should be fine. I have seen very high milage FI engines... If you REALLY want to be sure, do a leak-down test on the engine. But my guess is it would be fine.

good idea i might try the leak down test.

I made 210 whp / 220 wtq on mine for a goo d8 months and I had 155k miles on it. Ran fine. Finally blew it up when I decided to run 18lbs of boost to see how long it would take to break :) TOok about 6 days! Was sweet. haha
