Default Help with clutch not fully disengaging

I just did a 5.3 swap in my 99 Camaro, in the process I broke the hydraulic line going to the slave cylinder. So I purchased a new master, bled it manually and with a mighty vac and the clutch works fine while driving and stationary until I rev it up while the clutch is fully depressed the car wants to jump forward(while in a gear). I am out of ideas, anyone had this issue or can anyone help?

Is it a stock master or adjustable? If it's adjustable then you need to move the rod.

Well, first you can't bleed enough in my opinion. Is your clutch stock? Just asking because I know some need to be shimmed behind the slave. all you did was just change the line and before that it was fine?

It is a Spec stage 3 clutch, but yes before that it was fine. It actually seems to shift better then before just with this issue.

IMHO if you changed nothing else, then it makes me think there's air still somewhere. Unless you tried using the clutch at all with the line in bad shape because you didn't notice you kinked it or whatever. In that case, all bets are off.
