W more thought I think I'm off kilter on that (pedal ratio) as I'm sure when the PB assy was changed out & a regular pushrod added that if the hole located it way off from horizontle you would have noticed it but that is the small dimention in the ratio formula so maybe a fraction of an inch ch there WILL make a big diff & it never hurts to have all the facts at your disposal but prob k.i.s.s. that unless the friction material (CF) is not agressive enough, that the MC bore is too big making the effort 2 high esp if it stops well w alot of foot pressure but on my 65 dart (74 discs/10" drums) OE drum splitter 1&1/8" mc it stops perfect which it is a mismatched setup but there's no excessive pad/rotor wear (semi met) or excessive pedal effort & only locks up the rear on a panic stop & putting around town it's never a prob
