I don't think its possible to hold out for 500miles. I just installed mine this past weekend I made it till today with was just over 100miles. Let her rip a few times and man is it good to have my car back been haveing to baby the thing for 6+months due to shitty slave. I forgot how much fun it is to rip threw the gears at wot.
