Message the pedal closes the 2 switches. If you bottom the pedal out against the stop and keep going, it starts to move the piston in the MC and then won't allow it to come back enough to allow the fluid to return. This will cause pressure in the system when it heats up and potentially start to disengage the clutch making it slip slightly.
If you have the pedal adjusted correctly, all the air is out of the fender and main lines, and there is nothing wrong with the MC, then the only remaining area to look at is the TO arm and clutch pressure plate.
With the RPS Sport Street in my Z, it starts to engage about 2" off the floor and has about 1/2" free play at the top.
I adjusted a Max Street the other day and it has the same issue as you. In the end with a lot of finicky adjusting I got it to the point where the pedal still had to be right on the floor so it would shift without difficulty, and even with that there was still only 1/4" to 1/2" free play at the top. This car was a low miler with a perfectly operating MC and no leaks. Maybe some PP's just take more throw than others that are more like stock parameters. Someone should invent
a slave that is slotted so it can be adjusted a little.
