getting the street twin to fully release LT1

Hello!
I have a 95 firebird (LT1 style) with the mcleod street twin clutch. I do have the mcleod adjustable master cylinder, mated to a brand new line and GM slave cylinder.
I have adjusted the pedal to the stock location from the old master cylinder, but it seems that the clutch isn't fully disengaging when I put in the clutch. I say this because with the clutch fully pushed in, and shifting into any gear, the tranny clunks, the gears feel notchy, and you can feel the car try to move forward just a bit.
Which way do I start to adjust the pedal? I have heard that the rod should be shortened, but this seems counter-intuitive.
Many thanks!

I ended up shortening the rod. I put the rear on jackstands, put the clutch in, put it in first, kept the clutch in, and reved her to 6500 rpms, and the tires didn't move. Looks like she is finally fully releasing. The tires wanted to move just a little bit at 6000 rpms, but nothing too bad. They turned about an 1/8th of a revolution. Good to go!
