Brake pedal
It seems that either my brake pedal is getting harder to push or my leg weaker. I'm wondering if I upgrade my master cylinder and booster would help? It's especially, hard to blip the throttle going into a corner and seemed easier a few years ago.

The "upgrade" for the master cylinder is a larger cylinder that increases pedal effort.
Either you have a vacuum leak, a failing booster, a failing master that is binding, an issue with the pedal, or a perception issue.

I had this issue and it was just the brake pedal binding up from age. Rebuilt pedal box with new bushings solved it. So check that before you dump $$ on new master cylinder or booster or both.

Went for a drive today and no problem with the brake pedal. i had difficulty blipping the throttle at first. Then realized my knee was wedged under the steering wheel. when I vacuumed the car this summer, I moved the seat forward and didn't move it all the way back. So, I moved the seat back to where it felt comfortable once again and the heal-toe felt comfortable.
