supercharging a 120k motor a good idea?
looking to put a procharger supercharger on my 1992 camaro 350. the problem is it has 120k on the motor. the motor has never been driven hard and feels like new. anyone think this is a good idea? to me the worst that could happen is i blow the motor and then would have to upgrade that too. 
would blowing the motor hurt the supercharger itself?

If rebuilding the motor is not a big deal, then I would go on ahead and build the motor for boost. Cheaper to do it now, then to wait for it to blow.

Not a good idea, just do the rebuild now and have thengine built for boost, like it says above...
