Ford Racer,
Are you starting from scratch, or modify an existing set up?
To answer your basic question as you increase leverage (hydraulically or mechanically), pedal travel will increase for a given pressure, this will give the sensation that the pedal is softer. The typically ways of increasing leverage are: increasing the pedal ratio, larger total surface area for brake calipers (on opposed piston calipers only count pistons on one side), smaller master cylinders, larger rotors (assuming the calipers are moved out as well), or smaller diameter tires.
mickmate: I am surprised that your link, did not mention tire diameter.
Be careful! 60% front weight bias is a very general number. I am sure it is too much for a Porsche 911 and way too little for a front wheel drive econobox. For most applications too much front bias is better than to little (this will give understeer). Autocross cars are however an exception.
