I hope we get driver feedback too. But, be that as it may, why don't you take my single 7in as a "nominal" install. The foot pedal pressure is very satisfactory to me at least. The line pressure resultant from easy to hard foot pressure is very satisfactory (to me) from a drivability point of view. I can lock up all four wheels brakes with hard, but no undue pressure. I would not change anything on my current install, but of course I am used to the relocated pedal.

Since your pedal-multiplier setup does not significantly change the "foot feel" of the brake pedal location, I do not see where anyone would have an objection to it.

One point I do not see addressed is the original toe plate. My 7in booster setup used the stock toe plate with only minor relation of the mounting holes. How does yours work? Specifically, is the original toe plate used in modified form or does your conversion replace same?
