Is my clutch going to be okay?

Is my clutch going to be okay?
Basically I am having a hell of time trying to get my clutch adjusted. I put in a double hook quadrant, firewall adjuster, to my previously installed adjustable clutch cable and king cobra clutch.
After I origonally got everything adjusted the clutch seemed to release way to high, so I adjusted the firewall adjuster until it released more down in the middle like I wanted. I still have 1.5 inchs of travel left below when I am actually shifting. So basically I still dont need the full travel of the pedal as its set up now.
However after getting the pedal to feel like I wanted I had about 1 inch of "slop" at the top of the pedal travel. It was where there was no tension on anything just gavity was pulling the pedal back the last inch. So I made my own clutch bump stop to take up this last inch of slack. Now after doing that I am at the point of zero lash with my clutch letting out about 1/2 way up.
For comparison it not feels just like the brake pedal does. Where you have the light pressure of play for about 3/8 inch then tightens up. Go jiggle your brake pedal it feels just about the same. I dont mean the pedal is as low down as the brake pedal just feels the same slack wise comparitively.
Does anyone see any issues with this particlular setup?
