Default high miles and boost

friend said a modules engine just starts to wake up at 150 and since I got 101 I should man up and boost it. I'm all stock inside and rear as well

You def need to get a compression test on all cylinders to possibly fix problems before you even think of installing any kind of a power adder.

If the motor is running well the miles dont matter. Its not like the rods and crank go bad with miles. Things like bearings etc.. go bad with miles as they get worn. Like i said your fine as long as the motor is in good working order.

engine is fine. Then again I ain't a mecanic. So I wouldn't really know. I wanna do compression test on it. This helps determine the health right? I want to also check my plugs. How much is a compression test?

Compression check first, then do it. Buy a kit, don't be like the other guys on here that just bought a charger and are now realizing they need a lot more **** to make it work.

I'd buy a new shortblock first. Or you'll definitely be buying one soon.

I'd also look at nitrous. It's tunable for various power levels and it only comes on when you flip the switch to arm it so you don't have to pay for the extra weight and power when you're just cruising to work and back.
