I don't have any personal experience, but i've heard that these clutches need to be driven hard. If you drive it like a grandma it'll wear out quicker. I think JustOne recently had one go south on him( if memory serves me). Ask Dave_FL, Super20G or any of the other more high powered people that sing thier praises. When/If I go BIG, i'll get one fo sho!

I mean, I have a CM STG 4, and I am happy w/ it, but I cant tell you much cause I've only driven it maby 5K miles, its grabs hard, and is the best clutch I have used... I figure it will last a good little while... Armond runs it too and he's had his a lot longer and obviously puts down crazy power, so I'd say it's pretty much indestructable... just dont go around town slipping it.

Due to unforsen difficulties with keeping my car running I have only put about 250 miles on mine. I havent even really launched it hard yet. But whne i gte my car back and broken in I am sure I will be testing it to its limits and I might even break it. We will see. I was talking to greg (white fast car greg) the other day and he said his is starting to slip. he runs 12's though so I guess after a while under high boos tit just wears out like any other part n the engine.
