Go ahead and mod away. Take care of your service items, get a health check on your engine.

went to stage 2 at 90k with a custom tune on my 02, sold car at 195k and I won't wait as long for my 09. Smiling the last 100+k miles. As everyone said, good preventive maintenance is the key and don't abuse.
