if you switch and can't get roughly 1000psi, use the calculator that "feets" came up with, or mark wiliams calculator. plug in the pedal ratio, master size and caliper bore. it will give you the psi and leg effort necessary to obtain it. let us know what you come up with.

Per Williams calculator, plugging in a foot force of 150lbs ( per them, middle of "normal" range ), 1" master bore, foot lever ratio of 6.32:1, I should come up with 1200 psi. Wife and I switched rolls today and IMO I had to use excessive force to come up with 800 psi. - again, just my opinion. Per Wilwood, with the GM metric calipers I am using ( 2.38" piston dia.) they recommend a 7/8" or 1" bore master. I went with 1". Probably should have went with 7/8".
