We're finishing up production now, making instructions and trying to keep our pricing as low as possible for you guys. Thank you for all the interest and the kind words guys. You all are absolutely going to love this setup. 
Typo corrected - I apologize for the confusion.

Finally someone is addressing the problem, and from the sounds of it the right way.
I've been pushing to see someone do something, really DO something with the hydraulics, or come up with a cable conversion for a long time.
Best of luck with this setup, this will be one of those "if you build it people WILL buy it" parts, and I'm sure that you are probably underestimating the # of them you will sell.

Joey, you already know I'm down for one!!! These guys have tried EVERYTHING to fix mine ever since the textralia went in. I now have a RAM master, which helps a little, but didn't fix the problem like I hoped. This will be a quality product, the guys at Tick/PCM Forless know there sh*t!!!

Very Interesting Tick! After adding heads and cam, I started to get the sticky clutch pedal on my MN6 vette 444rwhp(after coming off the dyno started immediately). I have the stock clutch and was told my clutch issue probably had to do with the new Hp and that the fingers on the pressure plate were the issue? Do you think the clutch or the master is the issue?

I thought I was the only one with this problem!
Everything shifts fine but by the time I get to the 3-4 shift at the track it gets hot and I cant hit it. Ever since my spec 3+ install, but the clutch is just great.
LET ME KNOW when your ready to sell. PM me

Well just wanted to report back after driving the car myself. I will say it is night and day difference. The peddle pressure might be a little bit firmer but not extreme, being my clutch is extremely firm to begin with the change in feel is not something to be worried about.
Now onto the driving impressions. Im used to nailing shifts a lot of the time without lifting the gas. I lost all my confidence with this car as it wouldn't shift so I'm trying to get that confidence back knowing its finding the gears and not hitting a "wall" so to speak. The shifts fell 100% more clean and crisp and it just glides into gear with a lot less notchiness. I will keep this thread updated once I get a few more days of driving it under my belt. Its raining here now so there won't be any today. Thanks to Jonathan at Tick for coming up with this idea and finally pulling through with a solution so my car can actually race at the track successfully.

Definitely subscribing to this one. Been on the factory clutch and hydraulics for a year new since the H/C/I swap. Only put 300 miles on my car this year due to soggy clutch. Looking for the right parts for when the Tex finally gets dropped in, and prefer to do it right the first time.

Well the rain let off and I decided to take the car on a private test street for a few spirited runs. I decided to just go for it and damn if it didn't go into gear smoother than any Vette I have ever driven including the 2 I have owned. I power shifted every gear (did not lift the gas) and ran it all the way to redline and it scratched 3rd and 4th on the street with my heated 555r's. What a different car it is now thanks to the guys at Tick. I realize this is a pitiful way of explaining but I just exciting to be able to drive the car for what it was built for.
Here is a thread from a few months ago describing my issues:

Now I can't wait to hit the track to see what she will do.

nice to hear it is working for you.
so would it be safe to say that the f-body master cylinder will be like the McLeod adjustable master cylinder that is currently out? I believe they have a new and improved version out that no longer prematurely fails (seals).
