Someone over on PT just posted pics from No Limit's development car that's for sale, and it had a picture of Rob's bolt on balance bar setup.

It's not quite as compact as the Wilwood, but it does allow adjusting your pedal ratio by simply moving where the link from the brake pedal connects to the intermediate pivot bar in the firewall adapter. With the Wilwood setup you would have to redrill your pedal to alter pedal ratio.

If you didn't want to mod the firewall for Wilwood or Tilton pedals, that's the route I would probably take as you can easily adjust the pedal ratio between stock, higher, or lower by moving the link attachment point. He also offered them with a built in mount for a clutch master cylinder too, at least for 1st gen F-Bodies.

IIRC the 1st Gen F-bodies have a 6:1 pedal ratio in the manual brake pivot, which is pretty much where you want to be-- but having some easy adjustability is nice.

Either the No Limit or Wilwood setup sticks out from the firewall quite a bit, but you do get to avoid relatively permanent firewall mods. If you're going for the most compact look you can, it's hard to beat actually cutting and modding the firewall for Tilton or Wilwood pedals.
