I cannot speak to the McLeod clutch, but I have RAM twin-disc with aluminum flywheel in mine, and worked okay with a stock slave cylinder and the stock master.
What I need find is the clutch had a long travel and "felt" a little funny. I recently had the tick master installed and it WAY better. The clutch pedal is heavier but not unbearable and the travel is WAY less with way better feel. I would not go back to stock now.

I bought one because I was tired of the having the fuid getting black and the Tick has more capacity. I also installed a twin disk CenterForce at the same time, but not becasue it was needed with the clutch.

I purposely did NOT install a remote bleeder line on mine. I have one from when I had a RAM slave in the car (piece of junk by the way) but RPMTransmission (have a stage IV) says they will NOT warranty any of their transmissions if a remote bleeder is installed. I asked them why and they said there is a very good chance of air being trapped in the bleeder line which will not permit a clutch to disengage properly, and makes shifting hard. This causes damage to the synchro's (premature wear). I took them at their word and did not put it in.
Transmission shifts like a dream and the clutch disengagement works really really well. YMMV
