Default RPS clutch after 2yrs and 110+ launches
Heres some pics after I removed my RPS clutch tonight. It has 13000miles,has been in 2 of my cars, 110+ launches (4500-6100rpm with 410rwhp) and was still holding till this day. Removed only cause I didnt want to be down in the middle of summer if it finally went waitn for a rebuild! Its getting sent back to them to have new contact surfaces and get a new disk and all balanced. Any one looking for a clutch I highly reccomend it!

Sounds like it held up pretty well for the OP. That's not a ton of miles but a LOT of launches.

I like mine since it is really light weight...it probably won't hold the power I want to make down the road (550-ish RWHP), but for what I have (bolt-ons only), it is really nice.
