Default Learning about clutch set-ups. Need a little help

I spent the last couple hours learning about the different ways to set up the clutch to clutch pedal linkage. It seems like most use a hydraulic set-up with a master and external slave cylinder.

I am trying to figure out what options I have to get the shortest pedal stroke and still have a clutch that is not too stiff. I am too tall for a Cobra, but I'll fit somehow. Thinking that if I use a bigger master than slave, I can mount the pedals more forward and still not hit the firewall. I can see how this might work on a bottom mount pedal like ERA, but what about top mounted pedals where the master sits on outside the firewall. Aren't these already mounted at the firewall?? Maybe I could fab an offset pedal along with the larger master to gain some leg room.

I guess the question is what are the best options to get the pedals closer to the firewall for more legroom?? What are the limitations

Thanks,
Mark
