The clutch pedal fix results are in.....
You know your problem sounds like something I've experienced, but all my stuff is aftermarket and I'm in an 05. I put in a JWT clutch/flywheel and my clutch would stick at around the half way point at high rpms after sitting in traffic. I bled it a few times before getting a new slave cylinder and braided line. I thought it had gone away but I still get a little sponginess.
Not as bad as before as before it would stick about half way up, I could even pull it back up with my foot. now it just feels a little spongy. Almost like there is air in the system, again I only get this feeling when its hot. I've been meaning to replace the fluid with some high-temp high performance stuff and re-bleed the whole thing. I've even got a little vacuum pump tool this time, hoping this works better than having someone pump it over and over again, just haven't got around to it. I might also try some insulating wrap all the way to the reservoir.
Its worth a shot to replace the fluid as that is the only thing I have not done. I've got some prestone brake fluid in it now.

i think its just me or the track i ran in was very badly prepped. Im running on street tires but my 60' times where no better than 2.2 and i tried slipping the clutch at 3.5k rpm's, tried 2.7k rpm's all sorts of things, i haven't dragged the car in a years but damn.

But I can't argue with VeeTec being one of the best drivers here.

i couldn't even manage a 1.9 when my clutch was working fine, the best i could manage was a 2.0, then when the slave cylinder went all retarded and my clutch started slipping, i couldn't get better than a 2.1
