Ok, with the rear axle in the air you say the wheels start turning when you engage the clutch, but do they stop turning when you push it back in? I bet it's the clutch, not the master cylinder just cause my ram clutch did the same thing, engaged right on the floor. The reason you can't get past 1500 rpm could have to do with traction control cause your rear wheels are spinning and the front ones aren't, so try turning it off.

I just put the stock clutch back in for now. When I eventually have enough power to need the ramit i'm gonna probably use a shim from spec to get the slave closer to the clutch. Maybe the .040" one but i'm not sure.

Do a search for jmd method to bleed it. Check your master up top (pull back the rubber boot) for leaks too.
