OK, here's the deal, remember I didn't design this system. For optimum braking the proper pedal ratio should be 6 to 1. This would mean for every 100lbs of force on the pedal it would multiply by 6 to the booster and master. The CR design brake box has a 2 to 1 ratio which means you have to drive the pedal as hard as possible to get any brake action. I have redesigned the pedal box and pedal to achieve a 6 to 1 ratio. I have not tried it yet but I have a car on the hoist that I modified and I also sent out 1 to a customer. We should know this week if it works or not. If it does then all that will be necessary to modify yours is to remove the pedal box (4 bolts), drill a new hole 2 1/2" lower for the pedal pivot and install a new pedal that I will have made. I'll let everyone know when we try it.
