Default Tick M/C Throwout Bearing Travel Question

I am putting a 99 SS Camaro T56 Transmission in a 68 Camaro. I have a quicktime bellhousing which adapts the T56 to Two-Piece Main SBC. Also have new Centerforce Flywheel, clutch and Pressure plate, and RAM 510/520 Master and Slave. Did all the measurements and everything lines up with correct preload on the throw-out bearing per RAM tech support.

Bled, bled, and bled some more. With Clutch pedal adjusted all the way out, the clutch will not fully disengage.

Pulled everything apart. Have hydraulics on the bench, bled again no air bubbles. Full stroke of the mater produces ~3/8" movement in the throw-out bearing - Confirmed with second slave.

Centerforce tech says they need 7/16" travel to fully disengage.

It appears the Tick M/C with the larger bore size could possibly solve my issues... Can anyone provide any provide any idea the throw-out bearing travel that can be acheived with the Tick M/C?

Thanks in advance.

FYI. Bench tested the Tick Performance Master (7/8" Bore) with GM Slave and Throwout bearing travel is just under 1/2".
