Matkab, I read a magazine article recently about brakes, I can't remember which mag. and can't find it back. It stated that the pivot point for the master cylinder rod on the brake pedal should never go past 90 deg. over center or you will loose the mechanical advantage and pressure will drop. This information came from an aftermarket brake company (willwood, I think). Something to keep in mind when setting up your system.
I have a good book on performance brakes with a formula to take the guess work out of selecting a MC. I will try and remember to dig it out tonight.
