I am only a few miles from 110K miles. Still going.
My evo is only slightly modded. Honestly I am not sure how much power it's putting down. My mods are:
Turbo Back with high flow cat
AMS standard flash
AMS LICP
Forge MBC @ 21
MR BOV
HKS green drop in filter
I am in southwest Michigan so my drive is generally flat.

I had mine up to 116k before it started slipping. It slips with 5psi of boost now. I ran 23psi with cams and all the bolt ons. A lot of hard driving, but it wasn't until I started doing a lot of drag racing that finally ended it.

i i got about 60k on my stock clutch. with about 370whp. i can run the car fine. i can shift fast at red line in any gear and the clutch will hold fine. but i cant launch the car. if i try to launch the car even a little at a stop the clutch will just slip and stink and the car will go no where.

I'm at 100k now with basically the same mods.
vishnu base flash that controls boost to 21/22 psi till redline. Cold air intake. licp and turboback with highflow and an o2 housing. all in a light weight rs that I lightened even after the factory. decent combination it gets moving pretty good but I still want more power. I want the record so right now I looks like I'm number 3. behind nightwalker and than groundchuck.

It's been a while since I have updated this thread.
123K miles and still going. It's winter so with all the snow my drivetrain does not see as many high load starts like in the summer. Regardless it's still hanging in there.

Updates:
I am at 133K miles now. Still on the stock clutch. I just had the timing belt and water pump changed at AMS to keep her in tip top shape. While I was at it, I put it back on the dyno there to see how she's doing. We ended up changing the High Flow cat (put on a new one) because it was pretty clogged with was bringing the power down quite a bit (that's a new one on me). The high flow CAT had 65K miles on it so I guess that makes sense.
It's still running like a champ.
