Default INSANELY stiff clutch pedal: Tick master, slave, or Zoom ls6 clutch?

So I recently did a 6 speed swap. Never driven another M6 car so I had no idea how it was supposed to feel. I heard the Tick master was supposed to be stiff so I thought my pedal was normal, until tonight when I helped install one on a freinds' car. His clutch is nowhere near HALF as stiff as mine. Here is my setup:

-Tick adjustable master cylinder
-Perfection (same manufacturer as Zoom) slave cylinder
-Zoom ls6 stock replacement clutch (organic, nothing special)

His car is an 02 which came with the GM ls6 clutch obviously, so I would think the pedal should be about the same. I suppose the Zoom clutch might have a slightly stiffer pressure plate, but I can't imagine a stock replacement clutch would be THIS much stiffer. As I said before, a TON stiffer.

any thoughts?

anything specific? maybe smaller diameter bore or something?

everything works perfectly, 6k+rpm shifts no problem, just very very stiff. I really don't mind all that much I'm just curious haha
