I'm using the car for a race car and don't want to throw money at it if I don't have to. So, will the original master cylinder work or do I need a disc brake MC?

The Disc M/C has a larger front reservior to adequately serve the larger volume of fluid that the calipers require. Its only about $25 plus fluid for an AutoZone rebuilt one. Money well spent.
