All Adjustable Masters are certainly not created equal.

Only two are capable of a significant fluid flow increase over a stock cylinder, the Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder and the McLeod. The rest (Ram, etc) are just stock cylinders with an "adjustable rod" installed that allows you to remove the dead space from the pedal. The problem remains: these hydraulic systems need MORE FLUID in order to function properly.

Our kit is built around a Tilton Master Cylinder, the same one the NASCAR guys use every Sunday. Our kit is very well built, made in the USA, and covered under a warranty against leaks for the entire time you own it.

Our kit also comes with a heat-wrapped, unrestricted stainless braided line that eliminates the need for the "drill mod" so many have wasted time trying in the past.

Not to mention, the stock master has a partly hollow rod. Ask me how I know....




Mine snapped like a twig after a few months.


Needless to say, I have a Tick master and I love it!
