Longevity of High Output Motors

Hey All! Here's a good place to let us know how long your High Output motors run before they need some major tweaking(read $). Let us know how much you spent, how hard and far you drive it, and how many miles you've laid down before you've needed something major done. Regular maintenance aside, so adjusting the valves, new points, oil change and plugs are not counted. For those with small diameter front tires, round down because your speedo says you've put on more miles than you actually have.

If all answer truthfully, we can get a rough idea how far a HO motor will go for the $.
