Default Two Thumbs up for Tick Performance!

I upgraded to a Tick stage 2 rebuild and the Tick master with a LS7 clutch. Customer service is top notch and the trans works perfect. The tick master is a must and its top quality.

For future buyers, there is a small wire that comes out of the large wiring harness that runs under the booster that can get in the way of the master install. My small wire was snagged in the heat sheild so I had to loosen the heat shield and then I had plenty of slack to snake that master into its hidden spot. I heard people on here talking about removing the pedal spring, I didnt at first, ( but then read the instructions better) removed the spring and have zero issues . Speed bleeder is an absolute must. And for people that say there is an LS7 clutch band wagon...... It feels absolutely perfect I would never steer people from it. You want some quick pedal action dont be scared get a Tick.

I think the kit from tick comes with an LS2 flywheel, not for sure though. I have an ls7 clutch and tick master also. I didn't care to much for the firmer pedal, but I don't care since I can actually shft my car above 4000 rpm's now.

Is this one of those trick questions where the only thing different is the part number?

No stiff pedal here.

Just a quick question for Tick, I am currently using your master cylinder and removed the original pedal spring as per instructions. Just out of curiosity what is the reasoning behind removing it???

^ Edit, Removed the spring per instructions and the pedal is still perfect. Removing it keeps unwanted back pressured on the Tick master. Sorry about that guys.
