Since Rob upgraded my clutch to cope with 400+ftlb of torque my car is putting out the clutch is now a bit of a legfull! ,as the clutch is a hydraulic system if you could get a larger bore master cylinder it should reduce the amount of effort required to depress the clutch pedal,especially when going sideways round a mini roundabout several times!.I must say the new clutch certainly works no nasty burning smells that I used to get out of the one! but having the car wheelspin like mad through the first 3 gears takes some getting used to.

you need it the other way around .. a *smaller* bore master cylinder is what you require. You'll need to disaplce the same total fluid though to move the slave the proper distance, so if you reduce the bore of the master cylinder to reduce pedal pressures you'll need a longer stroke to shift the same volume of fluid as before ...
