Well I can tell you how much you can expect out of a Power grip. I got 19k out of my power grip clutch. It started slipping today! Im so pissed about it. I thought I would get way more milage out of this clutch. I put it in last summer and drive it pretty easy. Its been to the track 1 time with this clutch in it. I am so bummed I need one now.

I'm pretty sure my old MT ET Street Radials at the track is what caused the damage but the clutch broke on the street. I have now sold those tires and am planning to upgrade to a wrinkle wall tire that will absorb more shock.
