Just throwing a mix of parts together and the answer is "maybe". I always considered them a bandaid. Sometime a necessary one, but still a bandaid.

Figuring out pedal ratios, bore sizes of the MC and the calipers along with the number of pistons to get total area of the bores, tire sizes (big tire drag car vs all tires relatively the same size), getting it all right, and putting it all together and it should not be needed,

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
