I don't think that is an issue, discs take very little fluid to actuate 
- the pads are riding right next to the rotor.
My car wants to lock the (front) drums first, but it has 1 1/16 front 
wheel cylinders.
(no, the spindles I have won't mount stock Corvair cylinders)
Anyway, as Bryan says, there are lots of variables. Build with the 
thought that you can always add the prop valve if you need it.

Again - can you lock all four wheels with your stock brakes?
If not, why not?
