Loss of Power?

My brother is considering a used L due to shortage of funds. I was wondering if there is a great loss of power at higher milage say about 50k. Can I get some guys with higher milage to chime in and tell me if there is a significant diffrance.

my headgaskets were replaced at 42000 miles and the svt tech said that the combustion chambers were perfect, i saw them and they were great shape brown in color no carbon what so ever
and compression was right on so with 50 grand i can't see how
it would be much diffrent?

EDIT: however i did also have a power loss and it turned out that my trany was slipping, and i drove it until the 2 nd gear clutch pack welded together so now i had gregg rebuild my trany on sat and will put it in this week and i should notice a big diffrence since it now will not slip and has a 2400 stall well see.

105,800 miles and still very strong. I went out and did a few blasts to 120 after replacing my fuel pumps this afternoon (just training them), and it went as good as ever.
