procharger on high mileage engine?

My Gt is approaching 90,000 miles. Id like to put a intercooled procharger kit on it in the near future. Would it be safe to say that id need new rings and seals throughout the engine before i even consider putting a procharger on it?

the car has been worshiped.. oil changes every 3000 miles and never abused

+1 on the compression test ...
