LS6 383 Stroker Build Help
I always replace the slave whenever I have my trans off. They are just so prone to failure and now that you have a heavier clutch the stresses on it are much greater than when stock. I find it odd that the clutch stays down a bit though. The pressure plate is what causes the fluid to get pushed back and there is also a spring on the clutch pedal itself that should make it come back. Unless your slave is leaking I don't see how the old one is doing that.
The added pressure of a "stage 3" clutch is going to cause an earlier failure of the slave than normal and I hope you put on or that remote bleeding line to it when you replace the slave. I do a top>bottom flush of my clutch fluid every oil change. Abrasive clutch dust gets in past the slave seals under normal use and is why the fluid turns dark. Getting that stuff out will extend the slave's life. After having two "stage 3" clutches I'm glad that I finally went with a twin disk. They require much less hydraulic pressure to operate and put less stress on the slave too.

BTW with a remote bleeder line besides being much easier to flush regularly it was easier to get air out too. I just opened the bleeder, gave a couple of light pumps to get things flowing and then with the line below the car kept filling the reservoir. Eventually all the bubbles got pushed out.

Joe, are the Bosch injectors you're running 42 lbs. at the usual 43.5 (3 bar) psi or the 42 lbs. at the 58 (4 bar) psi the LS1/LS6 pushes? I have a set of Bosch 36 lbs. injectors that I plan to use (part #0280155868). The 36 lbs. is at 43.5 psi so with the LS1 it actually equates to a 41.5 lbs. injector. Just curious.
Also, here is a video of a cheap bleeding method that a guy got to work after trying everything else. Yours may not need bleeding again but it may be worth a try.
