Depends... It may or may not. Just seems to be the luck of the draw with these cars. That and how its been driven previously.

Only if you can drive.

When mine was slipping, I quickly learned why it was slipping and learned to drive the car the correct way.

Don't beat on it or slip the clutch (which heats it up and kills it) and you'll be just fine.

Mines holding up just fine. I am dyno testing the 35shot and the 50shot with all my goodies this friday. Its all installed though, i would just rather test it on the dyno before the street first.

I'd be inclined to say no, but I don't have the mods some of the other people who have replied do. I'm stock with trans mounts, ETD, and traction bars. Add Hoosier slicks and VHT and I have had some issues with a little bit of slip after doing a burnout in the waterbox and I go to race. 1st and 2nd gear were slipping. However, away from the track I have no issues.

Just thought I'd give my 2 cents and hope you would proceed with caution.

For 2-4k miles with slipping throughout nothing more.

I have all of those mods and then some and I haven't had a single issue with my stock clutch. I also have almost 40k miles on it. Like I said, I have not yet sprayed, minus the purge lol. Once I do, I will let you know how that stands. Currently I am at 280whp with 24 degrees timing on methanol injection and a pretty solid tune thusfar.

The nitrous shouldn't add to the load on the clutch during launches etc...so unless you are really sloppy shifter you should be good with the nitrous.
