yeah. I bet it is the master cylinder. You can actually rupture the diaphram in the master with the mity vac, so that might be making it worse. I would get a new master before I did anything else. What type of clutch is it and what size shot are you spraying?

LS6 clutch isn't much better than stock & comes stock in some later f-bodies I have heard. You should have stepped up alittle higher on the new clutch w/nitrous. It is probably your master with what you described.

The master cylinder may be part of the cause but the root cause is the LS6 clutch you have. It could barely hold stock hp. Get a decent clutch and a new master and your problem should be solved. You're taking a gamble everytime you spray on that clutch.

LS6 clutch with a 150 shot?

Even if the master does fix the sticking clutch it will be short lived.

Ill bet your spinning the clutch in the higher gears and boiling the hydraulic fluid causing the pedal to stick. Ask me how I know. As much as I didnt want to, I coughed up the cash for a Textralia.

Bottom line is your gonna need something a little more stout than the LS6.

True words spoken.

I did the same and cough up the cash for a Textralia clutch too. I love it!
