Default clutch problems

I recently installed a Ram Powergrip HD (about 500 miles on it) and decided to start pushing it a little harder now that it should be worn in good. I have noticed that in doing so, the clutch pedal gets very soft after a had run.

So, thinking I had master issues, I bought the Tick Master and installed it. First few pulls were good but then the same issue came back.

Re-bled master, adjusted it and tried again. Same thing. This time, the engagement point of the clutch has actually moved closer to the floor. There is no indication the clutch is "slipping" as it made great power on the dyno and I dont ever smell clutch while driving hard. I just cant stand the pedal feeling like crap after a hard run. The thing is, once I let off of it and drive normal, the clutch feel comes back. However, the engagement point has stayed put (much lower than where it originally was after I adjusted the master)

Anybody have any ideas as to whats going on?

Slave cylinder, most likely, if you've replaced everything else. Did you replace the slave recently or when you did the clutch?

Yep, brand new updated slave with the clutch.
