Default Hydraulic clutch line size

Hi I am looking at changing my clutch hydraulics in my 2004 Z06 and want to do away with the restricted lines.
My question is should I go for AN3 or AN4 clutch lines, I've got a TICK master and would also like to know what size line that has already fitted ( blue areoquip fitting )probably going to do away with the GM quick release fitting and just have a continuous line from slave to master.
I think the line from the TICK master is AN3 but if someone can confirm this.
Thanks for any info

I'm not sure what size lines are on the TICK MC. I would contact TICK directly for two reasons; 1) They will know what size line they supplied. 2) They will know if increasing the line diameter will negatively affect clutch performance / disengagement. The MC needs to have ample capacity to accommodate the additional volume requirement.

I don't think increasing the line diameter will have any detrimental effect, as the connections at the master and slave will still be the same diameter. I mean, I assume you're not increasing the diameter to like coffee can size!

I am using the stock master, but I made a -3 AN unrestricted line for mine and it works great.

TastyBacon, Did you ust ap the MC? How does one just thread a 3AN fitting into a non-threaded, O-ring style connection?
