Message	A brake caliper produces a clamping force on a rotor. Increase the radius of where the force is applied to the rotor and the torque at the center of the rotor (hub) will also increase (even with the same caliper and clamping force. Torque (braking force) = Clamping force slowing rotor down * Radius of rotor Increased radius (rotor size, caliper placement) means increased braking force 360rwhp, 370rwtq, 91 pump, 14psi
