mine started slipping at about 79000 miles. Not to bad, only under really hard acceleration. I switch to a SPEC stage 2 clutch at 80000. I'm at 90000 now and So far so good. The stock clutches are such crap on the LS1s. Theyre barely able to handle the stock torque of an LS1. When you start doing mods It just kicks the **** out of it. There should be a clutch in there that can handle MORE than what your car could ever possibly produce, so that youll never have any problems. The SPEC 2 clutch is rated to handle up to, I THINK, 530 ft/lbs. I only have an intake and cat back right now. so I figure theres about 375 ft/lbs hitting the clutch right now. No problem

62,390 miles
Wasn't slipping bad, but it did slip at WOT on upshifts.
Under regular driving it did fine.
I now have a Ram Powergrip HD with 200 miles on it and LOVE it!
