How many people do you need in the group by?
When is the deadline?

Any known issues with this yet?
How much testing has been performed besides your vehicle?
Any pre- requirement necessary (probably not)?

Thanks! I am debating if I am getting in tomorrow or not

The pre-order/group buy ends after tomorrow - shipments go out in August. There was a lot of testing on my vehicle. There are 3 to my knowledge that have upgraded their clutch MC and had great results using the identical bore MC from Tilton - LS6 & LS2, LS9x clutch and McLeod RXT (Sssnake, Gtstiles, and pyschobillycaddy).

There are 2 others besides myself that have this kit. There are no pre-requirements - this kit replaces the stock unit and comes with all necessary components including hydraulic hoses, fittings, hardware, adapters, etc.

There are 3 kits left with this pre-order/group buy at the time I write this - there was 5 left this morning.

Highly reccomended upgrade. I literally could NOT shift my car above 4,000 rpms until I upgraded the master. Shifting to reverse was a matter of some crafty foot/and handwork while praying to the car gods with crossed fingers. Now it's perfect. LS9x clutch

I have absolutely no doubt that this will pro-long the life of the slave cylinder and your Trans/Syncros for that matter. It truly allows for the hydrolics to function the way they were intended, as opposed to struggling to barely get the job done and prematurely wearing things out in the process

I sent in funds as well but neglected to post anything. You guys helped me with my thread about the shifting issues I have with this car and I couldn't resist when I saw you thread.

I can't wait to actually enjoy driving this car hard. As it is I feel like I am tiptoeing around in museum trying not to break anything.

Ditto. When are you expecting to give another go at producing some more for us fellas that had to sweet talk the boss?

I think maybe if we PM him he can give us a non-group buy price. I remember philistine mentioning in his original thread that he would still be offering the parts, just at a different price.
