Questioning about tick master cylinder upgrade
I put the 13/16 bore tick master cylinder and the twin disc Kevlar monster SK clutch set and later billet flywheel. Of course I have a new slave cylinder and I set the free play to 0.100 using shims. This is what they specify. We know that the Luke pressure plate that comes with the kit is self-adjusting and I did not tamper with its adjustment and it looks like it's where it should be for a new clutch. Everything installed correctly but I have to say this clutch engages in disengages at the top of the pedal travel. Not a big fan of this. What do you think about putting more free play into this and getting a little bit closer to 0.200 rather than where it is now so that I can get the pedal to engage in disengage further down? What are you guys doing and what are you finding to be the case?

I just setup a Monster LT1s. Their recommendation was .08" - .1" gap. I was concerned that too small a gap may cause a problem as the clutch wears. Also wasn't thrilled with a large shim moving the slave off the locating boss on the TT. I ended up with a 1/16" spacer and an air gap around .13". Its high but not too bad. If I have to do it again, I'll drop the spacer another 1/32" and shoot for .15" gap.
