I had a similar problem and the dealer removed some of the padding from the front of the bottom seat cushion. Still plenty of padding to be comfortable and it definitely helped with the leg room.
Yeah, I had thought about removing some padding as well so I'm glad to hear that it works. I hear the seat from the FFR Challenge Car offers a lot more room but surely at the expense of comfort. It might be something worth considering...

DrivinWest -- I'm the same size as you, just a few pounds lighter. I don't have an SPF, but what I had done has me looking squarely through the middle of the windshield. I had the seat bolted directly to the floor; it is "lightly padded;" moved as far back as it will go; the pedals are moved forward thanks to a special larger clutch master cylinder (slight additional pressure, not much); a 15 inch Moto-Lita tilted slightly upward. ERAs and SPFs are similar -- you can make it work if you want to. Here's a shot of me driving away:
