The idea is a moving engine has mechanical momentum that the rear brakes have to slow. Neutral and you slowing only the car.
I bought an oem brake pedal, cut the pedal off the arm, and bolted the pedal I cut to the existing pedal with washers as shims. Now rolling my foot is easy and I'm using my stock pedal pad. Total mod cost was under $40!

If you're on track you should always keep the time you're in the clutch to a minimum and NEVER spend any time in neutral. And in a manual while braking in gear it actually takes less brake energy to slow the car down because the engine supplies compression braking.
