Default clutch set-up

Hi, I have a classic roadsters cobra I built in 1997 and would like input on a better clutch set-up. The car has a ford 460 and tremec 3550 trans. The clutch pedel preesure is so hard that over the course of the last 12 years of driving the car I have bent three of the rods that run from the pedal to the master cylinder. I remedied that by making a new rod out of a 1/4 socket extension. I have tried three different tilton master clyinders with bores from 1/2" to 3/4" and still the same extreme pressure. next it pushed the bolts wich hold the master cylinder thru the fiberglass firewall, Obviously something is not right.

I am using a tilton hydraulic thro-out bearing and a 11" center force clutch with a diaphram style pressure plate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks, Dave

What would be a better set-up to use in my car?????
