First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

hello once more
just wondering if anyone could tell me what the bore of my master cylinder is

its a 1987 car so its got discs and that funny tall master cylinder (not a servo)

im planning to make the braking system a bit simpler.

if i were to put a slightly larger bore master cylinder on there am i correct in thinking it would give me more power on the brakes as it is pushing more fluid, and a smaller one would give me less power as its not able to move as much fluid?

just interested as im running 4pots and wanting to get as much out of them as possible

cheers

Smaller bore means: more line pressure, more travel, but LESS pedal effort! (and vica versa)
