Master cylinder bore size with stock booster?

I believe I have a 1" bore size master cylinder installed. Can I install a 1 1/8 master cylinder to push a 4 wheel disk setup? Will either size work with a stock size power brake booster?

I upgraded to 4 wheel disk but still have the disk/drum setup. The CCP unit is all in one which eliminates the need for a separate prop valve. They offer it in 1" and 1 1/8". I wasn't sure what determines the size needed. If they both bolt up to the brake booster I figured I should go with 1 1/8". It pushes more right?

1 1/8" is the standard bore for Corvette master cylinders which a lot of folks use for 4 wheel disc brake setups.

So both bore sizes will bolt up to the stock power booster?

It makes sense to think the 1 1/8" would push more volume.
