Default VDS Shim thickness...?

In a nutshell I'm running the Ram VDS clutch with the Sintered iron disc in the HOSS. Holds great, is easy to drive, no chatter, etc, etc....only problem is in dis-engagement. I've bled it to death, and adjusted the M/C all the way out and at 8000rpm it will still "creep" the car forward thru the lights even with the clutch all the way in...my question is what is a ballpark on shim thickness to start at? I called Ram and they said .150 ??? This seems extreme given the total travel of the slave. Anyone here played with shim thickness on this set-up?

LOL my bad I usually pay more attention than that. Do you not already have a shim in there?

Guess the only thing left to do is shim it...
