Default slave cylinder

so im currently collecting parts to do a clutch job mastercyl,flywheel clutch kit and slave cyl, ive been searching and reading..
so my question is. is their a REAL "performance slave cyl" (better then oem)
all the people that list a performance slave do not state why it is better. so im wondering if its just a repackaged oem unit

also does anyone currenty use a mcleod adj master cyl? what is your review of it?

I use a Tick adjustable master cylinder...

Don't forget the pilot bearing which goes inside the end of the crankshaft.

Not aware of an aftermarket slave cylinder...The last one I picked up (I asked for a slave cylinder for a 2004) was a little different from what I removed from my '02 so GM made some tweaks to it. It appears to be a little more "sealed". I didn't ask the dealer if the new 04 design replaces all previous but I would assume it does like with all GM parts.

I saw in one of the vettte mags, an ad for a RAM slave cylinder that is supposed to be better than OEM.

Don't know if true or not.
