broke the 200,000 mile barrier yesterday.
50 k miles supercharged, noumerous track days and runs like the day it left Zuffenhausen.
Actually it runs a bit stronger.
I wonder how long it will actually last here under the extreme heat conditions.

Nice....Bill Ball isn't far behind ya in terms of mileage and S/C mileage!!!
Do you have problems with overheating....especially when on the track? Or do you just avoid the silly hot track days?

Ever since I got laid off and lost my 80 mile commute I haven't been piling on the miles. It will probably take me 2 years to get to 200 from 184. 
Nice job, Sab!

No overheating issues whatsoever. The only time the car got a little warm on the track was on a really hot day and I left the AC on by mistake.

Nice guys! Way to go! You're psyching me up as my '88 is at 139,500 and I'm looking forward to many more happy miles. (although I've only personally put on 6-7k or so of those miles).
Keep up the good work!

Congrats!! For any car to make 200k & not run hot down here in the Sunshine State is an incredible accomplishment! Much less a supercharged one that also does track time too!

I am running 8.5 PSI Intercooled with the Eaton blower and an x pipe.
I have not dynoed the car with this setup, but ran some comparisons to other cars. So guess is the engine puts out close to 500HP. Maybe 425 RWHP?
