It's a common misconception that you should put the pedal release point to where you want it.
What you should do is drive the car get the clutch fluid warm then adjust it.
The point is to get the freeplay out of the pedal & to the minimum.
You have to have a little freeplay so as to not put extra pressure on the slave/clutch when driving hot etc.
Get it to where there is about 1/8- 1/4 " a free play hot before you can feel it compressing fluid. It helps to adjust this & feel the pedal with your hand.
You can more easily differentiate the freeplay from the fluid compression point.
I stress this is a hot only adjustment.
This BTW is basically how all the OE MFG's out there with adjustable hydraulic clutch systems spec their adjustments as well.
this will optimize the master cylinder throw once you depress the pedal it is doing work by moving fluid to actuate the slave cylinder.
That way the minmum amount of the master cylinder's stroke is wasted & the clutch releases quick as your set up will allow.
