around 300 runs depending on where its at at the end of a season on aluminum. Again just my opinion. Which used to be about 3-4 years/seasons when we used to race every weekend. I guess that could be every year for some.
How often should the steel rod be changed, in those conditions, would be the one I don't have a good answer for. They will need changed at some point also. Might be best to use Scat/Eagle and change those every 300.
Kind of what I was thinking.

There's a guy up my way that builds DIRT Modified engines that run up front consistently and he tells his customers to change the rods at 600 laps.
These engines are upwards of $30K and some of his customers seemed to think they should last longer for that price and ignored the advice.
None of them made it to 700 laps...
Physics doesn't much pay attention to price points.
