Default C5 clutch problems. Please help!

Alright guys here is my issue. Unfortunately its been about 15 degrees here in utah and im still driving my car.

Anyway, I got on my car early this morning a little bit and when I went to grab 2nd gear my clutch pedal basically stuck to the floor so I pulled it back and now its very spongey and hard to get in to gear also the clutch engages very early in the clutch travel now where it used to be somewhere in the middle, now its pretty much right off the floor

Im pretty sure I either messed up my slave cylinder or it could be because of the cold, Im not sure

My question is, Will the stock master cylinder hold up to a spec stage 1 clutch? like this-
https://www.google.com/#q=spec+sc091...07488636860993

I had this clutch in a camaro 2 years ago and thought it was great. But that car also had a tick master cylinder

Ive heard that corvettes have a more heavy duty hydraulic system the the fbodies. is that true?

I really dont want to buy a tick again because that means less money for my HCI.

Please give me some opinions/info!

Sometimes the master fluid gets dirty and needs flushing/changing. There's
also the "drill mod" that's like a DIY fix but in the end most everyone breaks
down and gets the Tick master.....My winter project will be this along with a
Monster stg. 2 and fixin' internal tranny stuff that's not happy.
