There's not anything substantive that can be derived from a truck with 10k or 73k that will effect longevity or durability.

Having had a ProCharger on '95 Camaro, as long as your conservative on the boost and tuning, you'll be fine.

If it were mine I'd stay with 6 to 7psi and add-on the upgrade 3 core intercooler.

The 5.0 is pretty durable. As other have said, a conservative tune should be a non issue. Stangs have been pushing the envelope at 3x the power the f150 puts out stock.
