surviving through mods
so as some of you know my car has a lot of miles (about 250k)
so far the only modifications i put on my car helps it more than hurts it (cold air intake, bigger throttle body, exhaust)
since my car survived passed the waterpump blowing up
and it passed smog (surprisingly)
i was thinking about putting the pacesetter header on it
now i don't see how it would hurt the engine since it's helping air go out the engine
so if i'm wrong please someone correct me
and i was thinking about getting the mopar ecu
i know that would probably kill my engine since it inhances the fuel and air mixture and everything
but how long do you think the car will last?
thanks for any and all input

RE: surviving through mods
haha yea i've been thinking about getting a new engine because i checked car-parts.com and there are a few SOHC for about 600 with less than 100k on them
i was just going to swap out the cams and put everything else back on
but there really is nothing wrong with the engine
its not cracked anywhere
everything that is worn has been replaced
and i have no money because i'm paying 300 a month for school
the last time we took it to dodge the guys didn't know how we kept it in such great shape for such a long time
but thanks for the input guys!

If you're keeping up with the maintenance schedule, then you shouldn't need to worry about stuff breaking. The header shouldn't adversely affect the engine at all. I would, however, advise getting one that isn't Pacesetter. They have a horrible problem of cracking. If you'd like to gamble on it, that's up to you.
