Same goes for modifying the car...if you're looking for ultimate in reliability, don't push the car beyond what it does stock...

i totally agree on the "heavy clutch last longer" comment...people get them so they'll hold the torque but it doesn't mean they'll outlast stock at stock power levels...in fact, mileage wise, they most definitely wont
