I have 150k on mine and wouldn't hesitate to boost it. I have plans to upgrade to a Crew Cab next year or so but I may end up with some spray on it eventually.... who knows.
Thanks for the support, I am adding the turbo to help for any loss of compression over the last 150k miles LS motors and there ability to resist wear is simply amazing!!

The one everyone thinks is too small to do any good on a 6.0L, the little 112. While it tries to get the job done, I had actually ordered a 122, but Magnacharger was never able to fill that order. I bought mine back when they were just talking about releasing the 122 and I waited 6-months on it before my money was refunded and I picked up the 112 instead. Of course back then it was very popular for them to tell you anything bigger than the 112 would just explode a stock 6.0L. It's funny how things change with time, but even though I still have a little heartburn over that, the little 112 has done a pretty fair job of things.
