Use a smaller bore for lighter pedal feel. I have a 7/8 on six piston wilwood fronts and the pedal is still very hard to push.

It was either Wilwood or Precision...pretty sure it was Wilwood though....
Does the stroke have anything to do with it??? (Allan leave that one alone!!)

try a smaler bore then try a larger one . shouldnt be much work . but i assume you have it under the dash ? then that might be a pain in the a$$ to keep switching.

try calling Paul at Hydratech , I bet he would help .
If you want a larger one try a 78-81 vette, thats a 1-1/8
