Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - Tick Master, Do It.

Got my car back from Spectacle Solutions this past weekend....The Tilton piece is a HUGE improvement over stock. Much more confident pedal feel, definitely more consistent. Slightly more pedal pressure, but its no different than any other aftermarket master cylinder...

All in all, I'd call it a must do.

How Much$$$

:stupid:

Tick has it listed on their website :)

I've gone through a few clutches and had an adjustable mc before and now my best and longest lasting setup is stock hydraulics and a badass clutch. My problem with the adjustable mcs is that most of them are made of metal. Metal conducts heat quickly suchas from hot headers.

When I had my adj mc I almost could never pull off a high rpm shift. How long have you had it in?

Just got it installed....I had a McLeod master in my TA, never had problems shifting at 6800. Good friend of mine has a Tick in his 383 500 RWHP N/A Camaro, shifts like a dream.

The Tick not only allows adjustment, but it moves more fluid. Its a definite upgrade over stock.

I'm not doubting it moving more fluid, but do you not think the slave will only allow so much fluid to move before it pops? I think I was having that issue too. If you over extend the adjustment, I think it is possible for it to move too much fluid. What do you think about that?

It is very possible, there is even a warning to watch your adjustment on the Tick or you will damage the pressure plate.

damn, never knew that you could damage a pressure plate that way. I think I went through a few slaves from over extending my mcleod mc.

My clutch is rated to 638ft/lb of tq. It is way overkill for my bolton power, but it allows me stock feeling pedal and wot pwr shifts any time I want lol. I bet it'd work on your buddies cars too.

With the clutches your friends have, are they able to pwr shift anytime they want too? Is that the way they race? Do they shift very quickly like stomp shift lift or stomp shift side step?

^ wot pwr shifts any time? i like that. What type of clutch you running?

southbend stage 3 680ft/lb. pwr shifts when I feel like getting on it lol or racing

hey sharpe, on ls1.com I put your sig pic in my sig and it got a mod mad lol... its funny.

Thanks for the props....its definitely an upgrade :)

7, I've personally owned an LS6 clutch, an oversize CF dual friction, and the OZ700. I've installed and driven a Spec 3+, and one of the Ram replacements.....None had trouble shifting up to about 6Kish....above 6 the more budget ones didn't like it as much. My CF DF and OZ700 give me no problems at all.
