I have the feeling that the master cylinder should be upgraded to one with a bigger bore to aid in the movement of more oil per inch of cylinder stroke.

I think my old NA required less pedal stroke than my SRT due to the increase in the total bore area. More pistons and bigger bores would need even more MC piston bore area to get a short pedal stroke.


If the bigger bored calipers got too hot when using the OEM MC, the clearance in the push rod may not be enough and you could end up with brakes being applied just because the oil was hot and expanded.
