Default Clutch Pedal Pressure Question

Has anyone with a Shelby/Kirkham aluminum car had to reposition their clutch pedal when using a hydraulic throwout bearing? I am using the McLeod Dual Disk setup and found that the pressure required to press the pedal was much too high. According to Red at McLeod, it appears that I need to move the mounting hole for my master cylinder down about 3/4" (that would place it about 2 1/8" from the center of the pivot point) to get better angle (roughly 1:6 ratio to the total length of the pedal).

By the way - using the 3/4" master cylinder and McLeod T/O bearing.

Has anyone with the same setup done this? If so, is the pressure noticably better? I assume it would be but I am trying not to move the hole 3/4" (would prefer 1/4"-3/8" to keep a good angle to the master cylinder)

Thanks in advance.
