The increase in volume from the enlarged lines will reduce the pressure because the MC now has to move more fluid. When you increase fluid you reduce pressure. So the moron posting on here about how line size doesn't change pressure is a complete tool. Henry Rifle is flat out wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ask me how I know? Oh, I work for the largest aftermarket brake company in the county, pretty easy to figure out.

Please educate, but please don’t sling mud. Let your words of wisdom lead, not names.
BUT, Please show us the correct way.

Change the mc bore, brake line diameter or braking bore sizes and you affect the pedal feel as well as pressure. To say otherwise is inaccurate information which is a very bad thing when talking about brakes.

I agree bad info is bad info. Instead of chastising, please show us your info is correct.

You think just because it was written 13 years ago that it won't be read by someone now? So no, I don't care how old this thread is if Google is still giving it to people. So you'd rather the forum carry incorrect information for an entire generation of hot rodders? Yea, that's really smart. Sure makes you and the forum look great. But hey, you attached your name defending said practices. Good for you. It's called ego, you should check it. Get a lot farther in life.

Please, I want to learn, teach me…

That was beautifully phrased; one of the most diplomatically written put-downs I've seen in a very long time.

In essence you told him to put up or shut up; but cleverly phrased in such a way that no umbrage could be taken.
Bloody gorgeous.
Love it.
