I'm not sure what you mean by "as soon as you are letting out the clutch." Do you mean the clutch starts engaging at the bottom of the pedal range. I installed my clutch with and adjustable clutch cylinder so I can put it where I want. However, that is not the main reason I did that. A lot of guys were complaining about not being able to disengage the clutch at high rpm. The solution was an after market clutch cylinder that happend to be adjustable. My only gripe is to get the cylinder bleed right I have have to back the pedal all the way out and max the pedal stroke.

That doesn't sound right to me, but I can't think of anything that would cause that. It sounds like distance between the clutch and flywheel got bigger. I would think it would get smaller if stock flywheel was resurfaced. I also installed a new flywheel when I put my dual friction in.
I would pull the whole assembly out and take a look at just in case somthing was installed wrong, maybe the wrong slave cylinder.

Slave cylinder might be about to go.. I had it happen to me. it got to the point where I had to pump it to even get it into gear but started out where it disengaged almost on the floor

I had second thoughts about changing my slave cylinder out until I pulled the whole assembly out and looked at it. It wraps around the output shaft and the only way to get it out is when you have the whole drive line pulled out.

I'm on the fence with either swapping out the 'very stiff' CF clutch which won't properly work to an LS7 combo or just trying the TICK adjustable master. One is at least $1K cheaper than the other...
This sucks.
