          Get an after market pedal assembly.

            I was hoping to find out what changes in footwell space are made with the boosterless setup Jean and Jgood and Garey have been talking about, no info on that was given yet though.

              Send me your email, and ill send you the PDF, of what it takes to install with that guys bracket. Using dual .625 MC bore for the brakes with 6.25:1 ratio pedals, you should have a daily-able setup.

                But how much room is the question. I also think having the brake pedal pad moved closer to the clutch will help me stop reving the engine when I press the brake.

                    The PDF shows what modifications need to be made to the firewall. Alternatively you could get a three pedal aftermarket assembly. That way all three pedals will be of equal distance.

                      ARe they just to close together or are the pedals too close to you, ie legs in dash. If its just too close make bigger seat brakets so you can slide farther back.

                        Moving the seat back only works to a point. Straight arming the wheel is bad for control, I'm 6'3" and sit with my arms at a decent bend for control, just makes getting in/out harder, and the pedals are real close

                              You don't want all pedals to be flush. You need the accelerator to be slightly lower than the brake pedal for proper heel-and-toe downshifts. The brake and throttle should be level when the brake is depressed.
