Will, when this type of problem happens, most of the time the flaw is in the clearence between the master and the booster output rod. Make sure you have the correct gap. This gap is needed when brakes warm up and start to push backwards on the master pushrod comming from the booster. Also make sure that the at rest gap is correct from pedal pushrod to the booster. You need space to have heat growth. You have an input related not output problem!  Heat up your brakes again so problem is duplicated, then lossen your master from booster about 1/4" and see if brake drag goes away. If not then quickley do the same at the pedal to booster input. Do not waste time as the brakes are cooling and the problem will go away. Good luck, Jeff Cobb 1196 Goose.
