    does volume help???

     



    Been a fun day in the garage, no interruptions!!!!! Anyway, considering the brake system for a couple of my projects. Both will see some harsh treatment, track time, and maybe even some hi speed running...

    Anyway, my question is this. Will increased volume in a braking system do anything other then just create the need for more brake fluid??? I know the factory used 3/16" brake lines for years on street cars... I'm wondering if using 1/4" line and -4 fittings and hoses on both cars just cuz I have to build the braking system, and bigger should be better right???? Or am I just considering options that don't really make any difference?????

    Oh yeah, if it matters both cars will be non-power brake systems with a brake pedal, dual master cylinders, line lock, and a bias adjuster bar.... 4 wheel disc brakes on both cars, too....
