Post Most all aftermarket MC's

I have found that most all aftermarket MC's are typically C3 Vette MC's in disguise (once torn down and carefully scrutinized). My math? Ok, it is my kryptonite, and good lord it looks like I'm wrong. Many many years ago (about twenty or so), I burette tested the CC outputs of various MC's x 1" of exact input stroke and got into all kinds of math... Over the next further years I actually didn't particularly chuck the math, but instead went into real world testing (less some of the math) Tobin at Kore3 is my go to guy for math these days LOL (caliper piston sizes x MC bore size x mechanical pedal leverage) The variable output of the hydroboost unit's can't seem to be exactly calculated though due to other variables such as PS pump max relief pressures and such. I have found that an installation with a Wilwood MC of exact same bore size (Wil-260-8856 with 1.125" bore) versus a C3 Vette MC (with the same 1.125" bore size)(as a back to back swap out) required considerably different inline adjustable proportioning valve settings. With the Wilwood in place, we could run the adjustable prop valve just about wide open (knob screwed all the way in), while swapping in the C3 Vette MC required considerable pressure reduction adjustments to the rear brakes = my type of real world "math" indicating a higher rear port / rear brake output with the C3 Vette MC as compared to the Wilwood. Hmmm...
