No offense... but I think this is a bit of a silly question to be honest.

People talking about clutches slipping at 10k... well I'd examine how you drive?
Do you accelerate hard all the time, drag race, do track days?

Bolt-on, "factory tuned" kits (like Edelbrock) are designed to be as reliable as possible, but with all the other variables - mostly how YOU drive and how you look after your car - it's impossible to answer this.
How often to you change engine oil 9and what kind of oil are you using) for e.g?

I have a race bike that has - since new - only ever been thrashed around a track, with full exhaust some engine tuning (no internals etc though) and some wicked brakes and suspension to make it grip and stop hard + slick tyres so I can really wind on the gas. I did something like 20,000km (around 12,500 miles) without any problems at all (clutch, engine or otherwise).
