Default clutch pedal sticks to the floor

hey all, i went to the track last night to see what it would do

i've got a spec stage 4 clutch, McCloed adjustable master cylinder, and an 01-02 slave cylinder. i've also done the drill mod.

went to 6,200rpm, pop the clutch, and it seemed to not come back very quickly. still pulled a 1.77 like that but the clutch was soft the rest of the night. on the way home it started firming up.

i checked fluid and it was all topped off, and only about 2 months old (itd DOT 3 brake fluid)

what can i do? i thought i had the best of the best but this isn't cutting it

next step is a 3 finger twin disk

honestly, if the setup i have right now doesn't work, i'm gonna sell it and jump on the 350 turbo bandwagon which sucks because i love shifting my own gears
