Default Car creeping after clutch install

I did the clutch this weekend (LS7 clutch/pressure plate, new slave, new pilot bearing, and Fidanza alum flywheel) And now its all back together the car creeps forward with the clutch pressed all the way in. I blead the hell out of the slave but it is still doing it, is there anything else i may be missing that isnt allowing the clutch to dissengage all the way?

I've had both of mine do that at first. After driving for just a few miles the pedal release point moved up about an inch. Drive it a bit and see what happens.

bleed it some more. LS7 clutch may engage low, but it'll still disengange correctly. That means if you are dragging, you have air in the system. If it's in the master side of things, you will still be able to compress the pedal somewhat with the hydraulic line disengaged. With it disconnected the master should not budge. Don't force it either.

If the slave has the air, it'll simply be a keep at it kind of deal. It's a 2 person job and requires patience to get it right.
