Default volume of fluid needed for throwout bearing

Anyone know what are the min volumes moved for making the throwout bearing (slave) work? The stock hydraulic LS throwout slave.

It's been a while since I filled up a clutch fluid reservoir, however I thought there was a fill line on the side. Just don't fill it to the point that when you put the black rubber grommet thing back in that it overflows.

Thanks but not what im asking.
really trying to get to a value that will determine what sizes of aftermarket master cylinders will work for racecar. Stock 3/4" unit is physically too long for my application.

I have a 7/8 Wilwood compact, fits and works) but very hard to push. Need to know if 3/4 compact will work.

What volume moved per pedal push is really the question.

Quick search results show stock LS1 clutch master cylinder has a bore of 3/4" with a 1.1" stroke. The yields ~0.486 cubic inches of fluid.
