Yes, like 40% more. The thing that I think I'll notice most is the heat dissipation. The brakes got very hot up a PPIR on the roval after a few laps of hard running.

Are you running power or manual brakes? I am thinking about doing the c6 z06 brakes on my 73 Camaro and I'm trying to figure out which mc I need to go with.

If you don't already have the brackets to mount them, I would give a shout to Tobin Knighton at Kore3. Fantastic products and great tech assistance to help you get the best/correct sized master cylinder/booster/etc for the combination.
