A machined flywheel will move the pressure plate fingers away from the slave.
It increases the throw distance required to release it by the slave.
It's not a alot I know, but it does change the geometry.
Thats why there are shims out there.
Another thing that helps alot IMO is an adjustable master. If you can get the pedal to the right spot it keeps release issue at bay.
There is also that possibility that your pressure plate is at fault, just because it's new/performance doesn't mean it is good.

I noticed something odd between the yesterday and today. The position at which the clutch pedal normally sits was closer to the floor and, therefore, was harder to get into gear. This morning while in traffic, the pedal came back to its previous location and the transmission was easier to get in to gear.
Pretty odd, no?![Secret2](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/secret.gif)

That can be the typical hydraulic issues, a flush could help you out.
