Default Ordered my tick master cylinder!!!

Put the order in last Wednesday and Goes in next weekend provided it arrives in time. The thing is almost impossible to drive in town. Other than K&N and SLP lid this will be my first mod. Can't wait!!!

Forgive my ignorance, what makes the Tick master cylinder the end-all-be-all? What is adjustable about it? What does it do that the stock doesn't? I ask because I suspect my stock master cylinder may be dead and need replacing. Is the Tick rebuildable? At that cost I hope so!

it's a larger bore so it pushes more fluid, the rod that connects to the pedal is adjustable so you can add or remove travel, yes it is rebuildable as it uses an off the shelf Tilton master cylinder (I believe Tick rebuilds/replaces them for free since they're warrantied, otherwise a rebuild kit is like $12)

Didn't take me long to put mine in, but maybe I got lucky. It was a *very* tight squeeze under the brake master cylinder with the tick unit vs stock. The machined piece of aluminum built onto the tick is the part that gets hung up most of the time it seems.
