85,000 miles is stage 4 worth it?

aspen_rex · 06-21-2007, 11:01 PM

Everything is fine with the motor , it has been driven on highway alot so the miles rang up fast for an 04. but im just wondering if its worth it to do a stage 4 now on the motor or just save my money for something else.

If you really wanna feel better just do a compression test before just to make sure.

Since it's mostly highway miles I wouldn't worry. That is unless you beat it hard for those miles...lol

depends on if you want to fix stuff as it blows - or take some precautionary measures. it's up to you.

rebuild/replace as you see fit. if you've beaten the hell out of it the past 80k - despite you saying you didn't - then build and boost away.

yeah id say boost it. ive got 71k on my clock stage 4 and had my set up for 41k miles and its good to go.

Stage 2: 10,000-50,000
Stage 3: 50,000-100,000
Stage 4 (VF34) 100,000-125,000

Runs perfectly. No problems. Hoping I don't have to wait too long before I can justify an EJ257 shortblock
