Ideally you should measure every time to make sure your clearances add up. Nothing worse than having a high or low clutch pedal after install and always wondering what the clearances were. Id only takes 5-10 mins to measure.

I have a LS9, LS9 clutch, LS9 slave and a TR6060 from a Camaro.
Thanks for the info!!!

Should have a free gap of around .130" between the TB bearing face pushed all the way back, to the face of the clutch pressure plate fingers.

So the .130" range is the amount for clutch wear, and the amount that the spring on the TB can take up without having problems with the seal on the slave pushed too far forward at spring take up as well. Hence you don't want more than .150" or your going to have problems with the slave at full throw that may start leaking, and you don't want under say .110", since it going to be board line as the clutch wears and the pressure pressure finger move back at the end of clutch life, with the slave spring coil bound up for the clutch and the clutch not fully engaging instead.
