Sounds like you may have to spend a little more time bleeding the system. When I swapped my clutch and slave cylinder it felt like it took forever to get the damn thing bled properly. I literally spent two hours getting all the air out of the system. The best thing you can ever do on these hydraulics is to bench bleed the entire thing ahead of time.
At this point, however, jack the rear of the car as high as you can get it but leave the front on the ground. I had the rear of the car 4 feet in the air. Bleed the slave cylinder a few dozen pumps and see if your pedal gets better.

Good luck.

did you measure for a shim before you put it all back together?
