[QUOTE="Norton, post: 16900920, member: 145307"] This is definitely a YMMV thing... I'm at 35K miles on my stock clutch, and it's still holding strong. I logged about 25 (1/2- and 1-mile) race passes at the stock power level. At about 19K miles, I installed "standard" bolt-ons (i.e., JLT 127mm CF CAI, CFM Twin Jet 67mm TB, VMP 2.4" Upper, 90mm Idler, BPS Oversized & Ported Plenum/Elbow, NGK TR7-IX plugs, VMP Triple-Pass Dual-Fan H/E, and Reische 170' Tstat), after which she made 733 RWHP & 713 RWTQ on a custom dyno tune. I've logged about 10 (1/2-mile) race passes since then, at the upgraded power level. Still, no indication of clutch problems. OTOH, a local friend fried the clutch in his similarly modified 2014, after only a handful of 1/2-mile passes. [IMG alt=":iagree:"]https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/images/smilies/iagree.gif[/IMG], which is why my 3.73 gear set is still on a shelf in my garage. Can't bring myself to risk the dreaded gear whine... [/QUOTE]
