Default Clutch Life Expectancy?(Spec 3)

i got a spec 3, it doesnt have too many miles on it but i think some of my hydraulic issues might have taken some life out of it, anybody know the normal life expectancy of these clutches?

Estimated horsepower is ~365 maybe, was 357/368 before underdrive crank pulley.

I have about 4000 on mine and it has 30 to 40 passes on it with spray and it is holding up fine just a little noisy but that is to be expected . Still grabs like a ****. I think when this one goes out i am going with the stage 4

Mine lasted about 10,000 miles, about 15 track passes on them, always street tires.

Mine lasted ~20,000 miles. The clutch didn't go, it just ate enough of the flywheel, that it no longer made contact. It would probably still work, if I added a new flywheel, but while it was out, I put in a Spec 4 in.

Thanks. Yes, I'm very happy with the ls6. I think it will go in the 420+ rwhp with this last round of mods. I've added mezier, h.s. roller rocker 1.7, bigger tb and intake, and a set kooks w/ory (it has macs now) since the 407 rwhp dyno.
