Default 99 Clutch Help

About a month ago we replaced the clutch in a 99 Vette with a Spec 3 and used a new GM slave cyl. The instructions with the Spec 3 said not to use the spacer supplied on Vette applications. Now occasionally the pedal is sticking to the floor on WOT shifts. Is the fix for this a new master cyl? Will a new GM master be an upgrade from the stock 99 master on the car now and likely fix this issue, or is an aftermarket adjustable needed? Also, does GM use the restrictor in the line on Vettes like they do on the F-body masters.

Pretty sure it's a problem with the slave cylinder. Need to use a 01+ slave and if you want to do the drill mod. I am having the same problem on my Vette.

Bleed the clutch again... You did purchase a LAPD remote bleeder line, right?
