Default Tick Performance adjustable master cylinder

After installing and adjusting per instructions, I've got full clutch disengagement with the pedal pressed down and it seems fully re-engaged when let off, however the pedal itself doesn't travel more than 2 inches and when released is still below the "pressure point" where the assist spring pushes up instead of down (the spring is still "assisting" with it up and can slow the return tho it seems I don't see any slipping).

The pedal is visibly much lower than the brake pedal and the feeling is weird because of the spring (though the clutch itself is working beautifully). I'm a bit afraid to adjust it higher because of all the warning concerning damage to the pressure plate if adjusted much further than complete disengagement.

Any suggestions from others who've installed this? I see some Corvette installs removed that spring altogether, but doesn't seem quite as applicable in the F-body, and only one other instance of a very low pedal which it appears they grew comfortable with.

mine is slightly below the brake pedal, that's the way it is supposed to be. remove the spring and don't forget to adjust the cruise control switch. It's the white switch that the clutch arm engauges when the clutch pedal is up but since the clutch pedal arm doesn't come up as high as it did it won't engauge and you will get an ses light.
