Default Omni Quicklutch Master Cylinder

So whats the deal with this master cylinder? Is the total clutch travel reduced by 50% or do you sitll maintain the original throw but engagement is 50% sooner? My s2000 has the usual bolt ons plus cams and 4.57 and will be used as a lapping car as well. Typically I don't press the clutch fully in but just past the engagement point. Have never had any clutch or transmission problems even with driving any of my cars balls out. Just wondering if this little thing would be beneficial on the track since I just threw in a brand new clutch. Any advice?

In combo with a short shifter, this is a must have mod. The clutch-in, shift, clutch-out transaction is FAST. This master works because the fluid cylinder is wider so the clutch pedal moves twice as much fluid.

The pedal sits slightly lower than the deadpedal vs about 1 1/2 inches above...so you don't lift your foot from deadpedal, you roll your foot onto the clutch pedal instead.

Because you move twice as much fluid, the pedal stiftness is TWICE as hard...if you have upgraded your pressure plate, your left leg will be getting a workout.

The clutch engagement point is very narrow, resulting in an off-on type of feeling.

Takes a couple of days to get use to, but WORTH it.

These had lots of issues with failures early on, and I don't know that they've fixed them. Buyer beware.

yeah i dont think so by the sounds of it.. slightly lower than the deadpedal is too far down for me.. i got short ass legs and i dont even press the clutch that far down to begin with, if it was the other way around where it sat with stock height and required 50% less throw, thus if i used my regular distance i would be assured it would always be 100% fully engaged. oh well ...
