Is it too late or never too late??

Just curious after how many miles on a stock Z is too late to add all that hp without doing any internal mods. I'm already over 22k on an 03 Z. By next year I would like to be over 420hp on TTs. It is my only car but I don't drive it everyday. I live across the street from work and when I go out on the weekends I roll with my boyz.

As I said just curious if it will be kinda risky if the engine and I would have to change major parts before putting on the bolt on kit.

Thanks in advance for you comments.

You car is still new! I don't think there is a "too late" time.

I think as long as the compression is there, it's never too late.

I have an 89 bimmer with perfect compression all across the 6 cylinders within 5 points of each other

I'd guess it's a tad bit late for that one hehe.. I'd say a combination of mileage and compression. There was a guy that went TT at 60k miles and had zero problems at 88k (I think the guy from MRC), you're more than fine.
