Default Another Tick MS Adjustment Q...Please !

Hi Guys,
I just finished a Tick MS install . Was reading other threads about adjustment .
Started with CL pedal all the way at floor adjusted it out until I could get CL to disengage . Went through gears at idle shifts fine thought all gears but CL Pedal is about 3" below Brake pedal ? I read where CL pedal should end up about 1" below brake and I can feel pedal takes more pressure to press but guess thats from it pushing more fluid .
I just want to be sure I am getting adjustment correct . Have two HPDE days coming up and really don't want to fry the pressure plate for release bearing .

From what i spoke with tick about mine, when it was installed. The clutch pedal should be the same height woth the brake pedal. Or slightly below it. Recheck tour adjustment.

Just readjusted and pedal is know about 2 " down from Brake . CL starts to engage about 2-3" up from floor seems to shift smooth and no movement with clutch in and rev rpm to about 3k .

I just spoke with Tick .
Told them my adjustment procedure and where I ended up . They said sound about right also and only way can really hurt the throw out bearing and PP would be to adjust CL Pedal higher than Brake Pedal .
