You can change master cylinder diameter, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Easier pedal > longer throw for disengagement. You always have to translate the pressure plate force/distance into what happens at the pedal.
Bob - OK, I will forget about the pedal layout. The spacing is nearly the exact same as my Mustang

Can you tell me what size slave cylinder ERA is providing. I don't remember seeing any identification on it. I'm guessing it's a 3/4 or 7/8 inch unit but would like to know for sure.
