Slave Cylinder Pushrod Torque

Assuming that the slave cylinder diameter is the same as the master diameter, which is common, it would be pounds of force on the pedal times the length of the pedal in feet.  ft-lb, not ft/lbs.

 

The hydraulics will transmit the pedal's force to the slave cylinder at a 1:1 ratio if the cylinders are the same diameter.  If you want more force at the slave, you would use a smaller master cylinder, trading distance for force at the slave cylinder.

 

Short answer - it's probably the same as it is for the L series engine.
