Mine started slipping bad when the ET Street radials went on...55k miles. I think its more of a hydraulic problem and that the pressure plate is too light. Or maybe my car is too heavy, lol.

A Textralia will replace it this spring.

I have 46,600 on my stock clutch now. It slips in the higher rpms and when I power shift. Normal driving its completely fine. I now have a cam installed so I figured why not and bought a spec stage III as well

Yeah, my stock clutch is fine at ~31,8xx and I just have basic boltons. I drive around 5-7k miles a year, so I'll probably sell it before I need a new clutch.

Mine has 80k but it tends to slip a bit when going uphill from a dead stop.

I did have to replace the hydraulics (master) @ 60k though.

Somewhere around 30k miles, I started smelling burning clutch when I would get on it in the upper RPMs, especially if I shifted 1-2 hard. I learned how to drive a stick on this clutch, so I'm sure that's what did it in...

113k DD miles and still going pretty good. I am the original owner and have abused it quite a bit. It has slipped at the Track in the upper R's but after cool down was back to normal. No Real Hard launches, maybe 3000 rpm on the street back when it was newer but thats it.
I'll replace it with LS7/LS2 Combo when it finally goes ...Whenever that is.

Started slipping at 12,000, after too many drag radial launchs at the track, never slips on the street. First raced w/ 500 miles. Only have 20,800 on same stock clutch. I will continue to bleed fluid after race day until I need to replace with Spec Stage II, or new LS7. Most others hit too hard for stock 10 bolt.

Default Clutch

I just has mine replaced last week, my SS has 104,500 or so miles on it. I'm not a drag racer, but like driving fast in the mountains of central California. The car is lowered 2 inches all the way round and I run 275 x 17 Goodyear F1 D3's on 17 x 9 1/2's
