Why do you recommend that he run a larger MC, one that will generate aproximately 30% less caliper pressure for a given pedal input force?

As for a power booster setup, a dual 8" or single 11" both have about the same effective area and would match up pretty well with a 1" bore MC given the 4.8/3.0 square inch front/rear caliper piston areas that you're running. A dual 9" booster would give you another ~30% boost...something that could come in handy if you want to run a low-dust, low coefficient of friction (CoF) pad (ie ceramic). What brake pads are you running? Low CoF pads combined with relatively small diameter rotors and performance tires can make achieving lockup much more difficult.
