Default New Ls7 Clutch..Pedal sticking down under hard accel

Hey guyz-
Had a question, when i launch from a stop and let the clutch out fast it sticks down about half way, so i have to pull it up with my foot. Is this an actual pressure plate prb? Or could it be a slave issue?
Also if i stomp it down even rolling in gear it has been doing it lately like it cant handle the power. Did it on the dyno once yesterday i htink.

Thanks please give me input.

or try wrapping the clutch line in High-Temp tape. I did that when I changed to the LS7 and I've never had a problem even hotlapping at the track

Sounds like your hydraulics system still has air in it.

Thanks i will try bleed it and see if that helps. THe slave cylinder i assume works just fine with the ls7 clutch right?
Het sutter what do you know i actually see someone with somewhat similar numbers with relatively same mods. Whats your hp curve look like at 5500-6500 mine stays flat at about 400rwhp.
Stock heads or ported ls6?
