I was able to speak to Jeff yesterday about this. It's a very interesting setup and since Jeff and I are both mechanical engineers, we got to get back to our roots while discussing designs...

We did come up with a few options that he could mull over...

The first one is a fork extension. He has already ordered one and that will be the first thing that he is to try.

The second idea is to swap to a hydraulic master/slave combination. Changing master cylinder size will allow him to "tune" the pedal pressure.

The third idea is to drop the King Cobra pressure plate (about 2600 lbs clamping force) in favor of a lighter pressure McLeod or RAM pressure plate.

Obviously it would be easier to try stuff that doesn't involve dropping the trans and bell, so we kinda arranged our options in terms of complexity.
