Ive got 76K on mine. The tranny is still holding. To be fair, I've only had the whipple for the last 25k.

Mine lasted about 20K before I lost second gear. Cost me $2300 to have it rebuilt, but it's got extra clutch pads and a shift kit now...much better, if there was anything good to come out of it. BTW, I'm running a Radix kit instead of the Whipple, but it's 6 or 7 psi too, should be about the same I would guess.
