Clutch pressure

I just finished installing my clutch tonight. When I pushed the clutch pedal it is really light. It disengages the clutch fully (as far as I can tell) when you push it, but it is almost as light as the accellerator pedal. I just installed a stage 3 so it should be harder to press than stock? The car drives better than it ever has since I bought it. Is it possible that my old clutch was just so messed up that it made the pedal hard to move? My dad installed the throwout bearing while I was at work, and I didn't check it. Could that be the problem?

You're worried that it works too well?

Yes it happens all the time, sometimes they get so hard that it will cause the master to blow its seals.

Ok thanks, That is probably why the slave cylinder broke then.
