In my case, I ended up going to a 7/8" master cylinder. That moved the slave full-stroke, but the 1 1/8" of stroke wasn't enough. At the advice of the manufacturer, CNC Brakes, I removed the return spring from the slave cylinder and put a return spring on the fork. Removing that spring gave me about another 3/8" of slave cylinder stroke. THAT fixed my problem.
So if you can get a helper to push your pedal down while you're under the car, you can see if you are stroking the cylinder fully or just bottoming it out at full-stroke. If you're bottoming it out, take out the spring. If it's just not moving full-stroke, go with the larger master cylinder.
Hope this helps you,
