I think you have that backwards. If you change to the larger GT cylinders
you should get less rear braking force since it will take more fluid volume
to expand the cylinders by the same amount. This Is why some sources say to
replace the roadster cyls with GT when uprating performance. More weight
transfer under braking means less weight on the rear end and thus less
ability to brake so less pressure is needed.
