Too many miles for more BOOST???

Hello everyone....
I have a 12V with 182K, I currently have for mods
DTT tranny
5" Bully Dog exhaust
#10 plate
3K springs
370's
timing advanced 18 deg.
K&N intake

I am planning on fire ringing the head, ARP head bolts, and a bigger turbo, S300 or HX-50, I am looking for feedback on what you guys think is too many miles for more power.
Thanks alot,
Adam

I didn't start boosting my 24v up until it had about 330-340k km on it. Forget about the mileage and pour the fuel to it.

Check the condition of the cylinder walls when you have it apart. They'll likely look like a million bucks, at which point, give 'er heck! My rig is pushing 300k and has seen many 50psi shots on a stock top end. My 89 had half a million when I pulled it, still running well, save for a head gasket. For what you're planning, I wouldn't lose any sleep. Have an oil analysis done if you want to set your mind at ease.
