94K is not many miles to a Honda, most last well over 200K. Here's how my philosophy works when it comes to boosting-
1.Less than 50K-safe to boost 12 PSI
2. 50-100K-safe to boost 10 PSI
3.100-150K-safe to boost 8 PSI
4-Over 150K-Not worth risk of blowing engine up
These are very safe numbers, I've seen 12 PSI boosting on an LS with over 100K still going after 2 years. Now has 125K or something like that.
