I used the master cylinder from an 88 firebird, along with the pedal assembly from the same car. I switch to the hydraulic slave kit from Howe Racing on the other end, the F-body slave sits too close to the header collectors causing the fluid to boil and get spongy pedal. The Tremec doesn't have the twist in the bellhousing like my third gen F-body set-up, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I used 93-97 F-body hydraulics with a JohnB pedal.

we had that problem with the headers with our circle track car so we used one of these...
