Im really not sure what your saying. The pad doesnt give a pedal pressure. It all comes down to the pads coefficient of friction, which will be dependent on its temperature. You will barely be able to stop with a racing pad before its warmed up, but wants it gets hotter, the CF will have gone up and not as much pedal pressure will be required to achieve the same clamping force.

Edit: I Really should say braking torque and not clamping force, although I doubt anyone is going to care, or even notice.
