Should it make noise since its brand new, never been driven? It's kind of a slight whirring noise, hard to explain.

Did you have to adjust the pedal height?

I remember on my car when I installed the HDSS, the engagement was right at the floor, so it had to be adjusted extensively. Did you also lube the shit out the throwout bearing and the shaft that it slides on?

I greased the bulb that the fork sticks to, then I lubed the shaft, and the plastic interior of the throwout bearing that slides on the shaft, I didn't actually lube the internals of the bearing with the balls and cage.

And nah I didn't have to adjust the clutch it's stiff though.

I got a wirring noise when I replaced the stock clutch. A year later (40K) the tranny went at 300K. don't know if that'll help you. When I look at the numbers, I'd say you're fine!
