bigger the bore the more/quicker fluid gets pushed. Usually MC bore size is related to the piston size/quantity in the caliper.

2 single piston rears then a 3/4 will be fine. Once you go to 4 piston or add front brakes then a 7/8 master. if they are all 4 are 4 piston then 1".

the 1" bore works good on chevy brakes cause it is one LARGE piston.. takes alot of fluid to move it and the larger bore helps to keep from having a spongey pedal 8)
