I noticed no difference in pedal effort when canning the plastic stripped out stocker for the LateModel Resto adj kit and cable.

An old clutch cable can make a pressure plate feel like it's hundred of pounds heavier.

I have the same one I guess. It's the older Ford Motorsport Cobra (not King Cobra) clutch. It isn't that hard to push, but not as easy as a hyd. set-up.

one thing I have seen is that not all aftermarket quadrants use the same pull ratio and ramp rate as the stock quad. this can increase pedal effort while also decreasing pedal throw to effectively release the clutch
