Mine had 130,000 miles on it before I replaced it with a POS one. Now its parked in the garage. This last one went 50,000. Oh well. I'm still waiting for advise on some clutches to replace it. Til then it sits there just collecting dust.

100k on the stock clutch, at which point it was just starting to slip under WOT. Had plenty of material, just got glazed from heat. I blame non drill mod hydraulics.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but how do you like your spec? I am considering them right now because my LS7 is dead.
