Default Which Master/Slave for 550+ rwhp?

... I ask because my virtually new McLeod adjustable is apparently having problems... and I hear that I'm not the only McLeod owner suffering. Yes, drill mod was done. If you want details, the thread is

https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/372766-diagnose-problem-mcleod-adj-master.html

Anyway, I just thought I'd ask which master and slave cylinders seem to be working on clutches handling some decent power. I'm looking for the trouble-free setup here that will work well with a RAM VDS980 setup.

And if you have a trouble-free McLeod, when did you put it in the car? (I'm wondering if something has changed with this unit over time).

Thanks for any info...

RAM adjustable going in this week. I'll post with results and perhaps a post mortem on the McLeod.

Check the link on the top post. Mine performed perfectly for the first couple of months before demonstrating the pedal return problems.
