You would have to have a master that had bore/stroke sufficient to move that much fluid.

Hi Jim
The bore size only equates to pedal pressure and pressure to the brakes .You could run 50 calipers with the same bore size ,but as the pads wear there has to be sufficient fluid in the reservoir to compensate for the wear .

When you take your foot off the brakes after a stop the piston only retracts a few thou of an inch ,that's all the fluid your moving .
Thats why with drum brakes you have to keep them adjusted or you have a lot of pedal travel
Look at some of the motorcycles that are out two 6 piston calipers one on each side ,or look at some of the supers cars out there .
