Thanks guys, it looks klke the fix will be contibutions from several sources:
increased disc diameter, more agressive pads, larger or multiple cylinders, pedal lever ratio. Over on the ffcobra forum, I've found that donor Mustang brake pedals have two pivot holes: one for power brakes and one for manual. There's also an inline booster device that I think can be installed in the line to the front brakes. It supposed to have a stepped piston inside that boosts line pressure 70%. It costs around $160. Then, there's always the consideration of having the proper balance between the front and rear. Never the less, 9.3" rotors on Cobra front wheels is ridiculous. I think the original 427 Cobras had opposed single piston (1.75" dia.?) pressing on solid 11" discs.
