If you're 5'10" and Russ is 5'9" and you're both using the forward pedal position, 6'4" could require some thinking outside the box...!
Also remember that there is more adjustability available by lenghtening or shortening the pushrods between the pedals & master cylinders. Lengthening will push the pedals forward and shortening will push them back. You have until the pedals bind against the firewall/bulkhead. Worst case is that you may have to notch the firewall for the pedals. And remember to put a positive stop for the clutch pedal. Notching will not be possible if you have Ron Butlers heaters.

Another area of adjustment would be to extend the distance between the heim joint and the brake pedal on the bias mechanism. This will reduce the stroke length and of course increase the reqired pedal force for breaking. There are limits to all of this, but it's a pretty good system. I would have liked remote brake bias on the system and I tried to create it for my car but it would involve a lot of changes. I will drive it first and then decide.

Gas pedal is easily adjustabel too. I reshaped mine for easy heel-toe braking/down shifting.

I also have a little space behind my seat if ever my legs grow
