How many? How many miles, dyno pulls, and track passes do you guys got on your cars with their current mods?
I have about 5000 miles,about 15 dyno pulls, and 4 passes with what i got in the sig.
Just trying to get an idea how long these things really last.

Currently, 23K, 2 cams, Hotcam/ Current FMS F11. all the bolt on's, NA #'s in sig. Changing out springs for the 3rd time. LS6 springs with the Hotcam/used 918's with the F11, going with new 918's with TI retainers in a few days(dont skimp on valve springs) Stock timing chain(IMHO they are very reliable) OK. 30 + passes 2 dyno sessions, getting a new baseline with the new springs then testing with the spray with upgraded injectors with the help hopefully with tuning from LonSlo on this board. In a nutshell these motors will take a LOT of abuse.

I had (6) pulls during my dyno tuning to get the A/F correct, and have about (8) passes on (4) different tracks. At 4060#, M6, best time 13.54.
Once the cam goes in this spring/summer....time to re-dyno and test!

My car right now with my current set up has about 800 -1,000 mile s on it. My car has had about 10-12 dyno pulls on it. I haven't taken it to the track since my new mods though. I will in the spring.

Gee fun one here....
Car has 34,000 or so on it, 4 dyno pulls, and well over 600 passes in one year!
Trans - Cmotorsport Level 2, about 8,000mi, 0 dyno, 80 passes, same old Yank 3k stall convertor now for the life of car pratically.
Current TSP 231/237 over 10,000mi, o dyno, over 200 passes
CC 918 Springs had over 12,000mi, 2 dynos, and well over 400 passes.
Now I have a set of PP5.3L with PG Springs that need the same treatment, lots of daily driving and even more, every weekend, racing. Gotta love it. Should be ordering a new APE 347 this week, so that too will see lots of use, and even more nitrous than the current setup. Oh yeah, Damn near a bottle every fri & Sat, constituting over 400 of the previously mentioned 600 passes...I hate NA!

To offer an exact answer to your question I'll list how long my original motor lasted given a different abuse perspective
All the current power mods minus the Water Pump, radiator, 3 1/2" drive-shaft, diff cover, and was running a smaller after-market cam most of the duration of said motor's life:
LEAD foot daily-driving
no track runs
shifting at 6500 during all races/runs
3 dyno pulls
more than 30 1/4 mi street races
more than 50 highway runs above 150mph
more than 40 of those runs were above 160mph
more than 30 of those runs were above 180mph
less than half a dozen runs above 190mph
18K miles on the H/C/bolt-ons set-up when oil-pump failed.
Given the info in this thread so far, I'd imagine that my set-up could go longer with the EWP and a ported oil-pump (not to mention a built bottom-end) but I don't do these high-speed runs anymore . . . well . . . once in a VERY blue moon now.
I've got almost 30K miles on the new stock bottom-end motor, 29K of those miles with the current set-up, with the following regular abuse:
lead foot daily-driving
no track runs
shifting at 6700 during all races/runs
1 dyno pull
~a dozen street 1/4 races
less than 10 highway runs above 150 but less than 185mph.
Please note: I don't recommend, nor do I condone, traveling at these speeds to ANYONE. ALL highway speeds were done between 12 am and 5 am with no other traffic on a loooooong 5 lane wide highway (still doesn't make it right).

I have just the LS6 intake, SLP Lid, and Flowmaster. 81,800 miles, 4 dyno runs, about 60 passes (I have a stack of timeslips - didn't count them all!), and about four 140+mph runs. Have never broken anything while racing (knock on wood - knock, knock!!).
Looking to add headers with tax money and maybe even get the cam i want (finally!).
