Default Ram Hydraulic Slave or Stock Upgraded

I did as much searching as I could, however the 4 posts i found on this didn't really help me decide much.

I recently had my T-56 rebuilt by Texas Drivetrain Perfomance, great service by the way, and I also picked up a stage 3 clutch package that comes with a new slave.

Long story short, a few monthd ago I purchased a used T-56 from a member on here that turned out to be ****. It came with the Ram Hydraulic piece that looks really nice. I sent the T-56 to Jason at TDP and now I'm undecided if I should use the Ram unit or with the unit that came with the package.

I couldn't really pull up any specifics on this Ram unit, so now I turn to you guys. Here is a picture of both units next to the Tick Master



What do you think?

FWIW, we designed our master to be used with the stock GM Slave. No input on the RAM unit.

Thanks Joey,

I can't believe that nobody has any input on these RAM hydraulic units. It looks like a real good piece and an upgrade to the slave unit.

As you said, every post you find on the Tick Master is combined with the stock slave and makes for a great combo. I guess it's worth a shot, just not looking forward to pulling the tranny again if it doesn't work with your piece.

Well the hydraulic unit seems to be holding up just fine, pedal is harder than the stock but that's to be expected because of the Tick MC. Gotta wait for the clutch to break in so I can give it a go.
