[swrdply400mrelay]

Just curious about people’s experience on how long the stock clutch has lasted them.

11,000 miles, tuned since 1500mi. Mostly stage 2 93 but also the occasional e40 and 17 track days. Plan to upgrade clutch to PTB when I go Pure 800

You forgot to include the last 2 options.
I'm not 18 and drive like a tool...... Still going.
Any of the above but I know how to treat a clutch....... Still going.

Stage 2, 23,000kms (14,292 weirdo US units), no issues.

I have pushed my tune to 25 psi, dropping to 22.5 psi at high rpm, making 800nm and 500hp based on the ECU torque calculations. Tried it on pump gas and a 30% methanol blend.

clutch still going strong with no signs of any slipping (i havent put enough miles to stress test it).

I don't think the clutch is as weak as it's talked about online. I think it's either based on how you drive and if you take your car to the track.

That’s what I suspect, but it’s hard to tease out that information. I figure if I did a poll and a very small minority of owners had their clutch go out on stock power/stage 1, then it might be more evidence.

Ran mhd flex fuel at e40 for about 4k miles (after 3k miles untuned and 4k on a jb4 custom map) and never any slipping. Clutch was in great condition when it came out of the car

Started minor slipping ~40k with abuse. Dead once swapped to e blend.

Stock clutch held up fine until I started running MHD stage 2 E40 OTS map consistently. It started slipping at ~10k miles of running that map daily.

35,000kms on MHD OTS flex on E50 (never put just ron98 in).

Never launched the car or dropped the clutch to do a burnout, but lots of hard driving including very spirited driving, roll racing and a couple track days and just clutch dumping when shifting at WOT.

Absolutely no issues or slip (not sure how anyone elses gives out before 10,000kms).

Now running PTB clutch as I've upgraded to Pure900 + PI on full E85.

Clutch started slipping at almost 12K miles, about 12 track events. Only increased power the last two events.

4k tuned on jb4 ~450ftlb , 2k tuned on MHD at ~550ftlb no slip at all.

It's still a pretty low sample size but it's not looking good for the "cLuTcH iS BaD. mE GoOd dRiVeR" guys?
