i think you can do it, not that bad, i've seen some people run nos on 100k miled cars.

if ur car is in good shape do it 55shot that is
get a minor tuneup - ignition - plugs, rotor, cap, wires
plugs should be a step or 2 colder though

If your car is taken care of you won't have to worry toomuch about it with a 55shot. Plus the zex does all the mixing for you threw their lil box. They just worry about high milage because there is a higher chance to burn your oil rings with higher mileage cars. I say go for it. I have 82k miles on my h22a1 and I am installing mine soon.

For just a 55 shot you don't have to do much. First get a compression check and a leakdown test. These will tell you if your engine is in good shape. Second, buy the Zex kit and install it. Thirdly, get NGK copper plugs and make sure that they are one step colder than stock. Only use 92 octane gas. Have fun. Doing a tune up is a good idea also.

Do a compression test and and a leak down test. A shop can do the leak down for you.
