Default Tick clutch master shift problems??

Installed a Tick clutch master recently...Reason for the upgrade was to correct high rpm shifting issues,ie: locked out of gear at 6500 shift points,clutch pedal dropping almost to floor.
Installed new clutch master. Bled system,solid pedal,feels great with normal shifting,clutch pedal is quite a bit lower than stock and it engages lower than a stock clutch pedal,about 1 inch from the floor board.
Fresh fluid,no kinks in line,I insulated the line,4 inches from headers.

I am having the same issues! High rpm upshifts,pedal gets soft and sloppy.
Is there anything else that could be wrong? Normal driving is excellent,no issues, just high upshifts wont happen...No good for the occasional strip time ....Possibly clutch or clutch slave?Any views?Very dissapointed
