It's the length of the pedal arm and distance from the pivot point to the pushrod. If the distance from the pivot point to the pushrod hole gets to short, you sacrifice piston stroke.
I'm switching to a 1" bore master in my manual system. 7/8 is great in a street car but it's got it's drawback on the track.
I diagree Greg. There are advantages of power systems. It covers up brake pad knockback with a much larger piston. It's also better in a daily driver. How many factory cars have manual brakes?
