[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 15821154, member: 10216"] Recently I got very little life out of one my clutches, so wanted to see how much mileage I got out of each of them over the years. Both cars are daily driven (mostly on drag radials), and I race them at the drag strip regularly. They are basic upper pulley-only cars, ~450/450. vert - brand/mileage/power & tires/# of drag races [INDENT][INDENT]- Stock Ford/45k/stock, stock/54 - Centerforce DFX/18k/stock, dr’s/7 - Ram HD/28k/pulley, dr’s/12 - Ram HD/18k/pulley, dr’s/10 - McLeod RXT/10k/pulley, dr’s/6[/INDENT][/INDENT] coupe - brand/mileage/power & tires/# of drag races [INDENT][INDENT]- Stock Ford/30k/pulley, dr’s/6 (10k of this was stock, no racing) - McLeod RXT/14k/pulley, dr’s/9 - McLeod RST/8k/pulley, dr’s/3[/INDENT][/INDENT] My takeaway is you can’t beat the longevity of the stock clutch… as long as you're on the stock power level & tires. (In fact I think that hotcobra03 did not have to change his until 354K iirc!) And since I ate through my most recent RST very fast, I think the organic lining does not like the weight of the cars, but I am not dismissing the possibility of using the stock pivot ball as being a contributing factor. So next I will go back to either the RXT or try out their Kevlar discs. Also, the Ram HD proved to be a good performer, but ever since I went to the twin-disc setups I've been hooked on their incredibly light pedal-feel. FWIW - [/QUOTE]
