Then you better be asking the people building your brake kit for you, cause Wilwood brake calipers come in different bore sizes.
To assume you NEED to change the brake master cylinder (bore) is just wrong.
You're assuming "bigger is better" but not in this case.

In fact, increasing the brake master cylinder bore size drops brake caliper effectiveness (and "feel") due to physics.
Pressure through the system drops due to (you) increasing the "square inch" part of "psi" - pounds per square inch.
