That could be done by changing the master cylinder and slave cylinder 
to a different bore. Also you can move the position the push rod 
attaches to the pedal up about 1/2 " . This will change the ratio of 
the pedal from approximatly 3.6:1 to 4.75:1.

We had a Healey come in the shop one time that the brake hoses were 
swelling up when you pressed on the brake pedal and there was a soft 
pedal. No matter what we did we could not get a good brake pedal. We 
then found that someone had moved the push rod attachment point 
increasing the pressure in the system.
