Default Clutch Pedal Problem..

Hey guys, I just had a McLoud Adjustable Master, LS7 Clutch/LS2 Flywheel, and a new Slave installed in the Z06. My Problem is when I 1st start the car and drive after it has been sitting for a while there is "slack" in the clutch pedal, there is a good 2-3" loose pedal at the top. After about 5-10 minutes of driving and constantly pumping the clutch pedal it will tighten up and the entire pedal will be solid, no more slack. Any idea what could cause this to happen?

It is a brand new piece, maybe 3 months old. Are the McLoud's know to be defective? Once it gets full pressure it feels fine, although it does release pretty high up on the pedal. I spent close to $1500 getting the master, slave, clutch and flywheel replaced. I'm gonna try to change the fluid this weekend and see if it helps, it was pretty dark.

Mine does this but gets "tight" after about 3 pushes to the floor. I have stock hydrolics but they are also new and Im running th Textralia OZ700. I am going to replace the master with a Tick Performance one soon.
