It sounds like OP is getting pressure, especially when the tears are reduced in fliw, but the pedal travel is worrisome. Altering the relationship between the pedal pivot and the MC may get a faster stroke .
The pushrod is about as high up on the pedal arm as it could go. I'm only about the height of the clevis (1.5in?) below the pivot right now.
