Default clutch line/slave setup

Having some issues with clutch engagement on 9500 rpm shifts and was wondering if you guys are doing anything special to get the most from your hydraulic system? Right now i am on all oem items as far as lines and such, with a comp twin disk clutch. car makes mid 600s in the upper gears. I was thinking just fresh fluid and an aftermarket line to replace the oem soft line?

any input appreciated!

I have brake line from the firwall to the slave, new oem slave and omni power master cylinder with Clutch masters FX700 the omni makes the pedl a bit harder but actuates the clutch much quicker and less pedal travel. Seems to be working good for us 10k shifts no problem

Pretty sure in the cc twin disc literature it recommend you change the master and slave, and to a ss braided line. It's been a while since I read it though.

We use stainless braided hose from master to slave with oem master and slave with no issues 10k+ rpm...

Check out link in my sig if you are looking for a place to get a stainless braided line made.

Im also using a omni master cylinder with a russel line that replaces the oem soft line, and fx500 unsprung. pedal pressure does increase but pedal travel goes down alot, making shifts much faster, some people think i have a automatic cause of how fast i shift. If you have a short throw shifter the omni master cylinder is a must. most people dont realize that putting on a short throw shifter with oem pedal travel master cylinder makes you shift faster but your clutch pedal speed stays the same.
