[QUOTE="Mexicano, post: 113821, member: 1442"] Not at all..... One of the most common misconceptions is that a larger master cylinder will create more pressure. While a larger master cylinder creates a larger displacement, it takes more force to create the same pressure as a smaller bore. While a larger master cylinder will take up system slack with less pedal stroke, it will take more force to create the same system pressure. The result after adding the larger master cylinder is a harder pedal which needs much more pedal pressure to create the same amount of braking force. As an example, moving from a 3/4" master cylinder to a 1" requires 77.7% more force on the push rod. The goal is to balance the entire system. Pedal force, system pressure and lever travel all need to be taken into account. I have done before BIG BRAKES installation and used the stock master cylinder with no issues. Regards [/QUOTE]
