Mine held for a short while with ~280 wtq. It still is fine for DD'ing after driving with/beating on it for 4000 miles, but I have a stage 4 clutch for when I put the kit back on. I would not expect anymore than 250 ft-lbs at the crank to last very long though. IF you don't launch the car very much you should be fine for a good while. But don't expect it to withstand sticky tires and/or hard launches for more than 5000 miles.

well what size turbo do you have and do your tires spin if you hit boost? Also what are the specs on your tires (size, make/model), if you don't have too aggressive of tires with your application it will probably be fine.

ive got a 57 trim to4e with a .63 ar hotside
the tires are bfgoodrich g-force (sticky) 215/45/17, i have only hit boost in third gear or above today i hit boost in second gear and well it was for a split second but im sure i didnt spin tires...
oh and the other day after getting outta a red light a durango wanted to accelerate i hit it in first second and third.....and to be honest idk what spun...tires or clutch, but i was on nitrous every week (75 shot) launching and spraying everywhere and clutch never slipped.

I mean you can either use your stock clutch or buy an aftermarket one now and save your stock clutch (what I am doing). I would think it *should* hold for like 10k miles or so. But then again, just my opinion and I am not really sure. That's just my guess based off of my experiences.

Don't launch it and don't boost in 5th gear and it'll be fine. Mine held up on 12psi for 2 months then for 2 more months on 6psi. Only showed signs of slippage in 5th gear on the highway, vowed to never hit boost in 5th again, and I never once launched my car...hell, I've never even seen boost in 1st.
Just don't bank on it lasting.
