Get the '01+ Master and slave cylinder. I would also recommend doing the Drill mod (info can be found at install university for this procedure.)

I would also recommend upgrading the clutch being the car is a '99. How many miles?

If you don't plan on heavily modding then a Z06 clutch will do you fine, if you are planning on modding then you need to do some research for which aftermarket clutch will match up to your expectations of the car.

well the other night i ran it hard through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. then i stopped and tried to put it in gear and it wouldnt go. i had no pressure on the peddle so i pumped it. it took about 5 minutes to get the clutch pressure back and now its fine again. the clutch is new and like i said the only time it does this is after it has seen high RPM's! what should i do? replace the hydros? if so what should i buy and from who??? thanks.

Sounds like you just need to bleed it. Try that first.

You should have upgraded the slave when replacing the clutch though. The master doesn't need upgraded as it's the same.

GET THE MCLEOD ADJ. MASTER CYLINDER. This thing is phenomenal. I really wish I would've gotten it first, because it is an AWESOME mod. Do the drill mod too. I really didn't think it would be as big of an improvement as it is, but boy was I wrong.
