Did the brake calcs make sense with your system?

Yes very clear this am.
Something was making them a little fuzzier to review last night
Not certain what that was

Formal education has helped you on the engineering front. Your eating habits are Feral.

Some guys have mentioned measuring pressures of 800-1000psi. I assume this is primarily achieved by a greater input to the pedal rather than reducing MC size. Do you have numbers for the following driving styles: normal (non fatiguing pedal input), semi-aggressive pedal input (spirited driving / auto cross), aggressive pedal input (high speed track braking and panic stop situations).
As always thanks for your wealth of knowledge and willingness to educate us!

The chart assumes a 100lbs of driver force on the pedal resulting in a 300lb force on the master.
So I guess the question boils down to why the 100 lb number is used and how do we relate the figure to an amount of pedal pressure that is familiar?
