Yes. You want to take up all that dead space. What you don't want is the booster rod to push on the master bore when at rest or the brakes will drag. So in other words, if the bore is 1.400" in dept, you'll want to set up the booster pushrod to 1.390-1.395" or so to that it's just about to make contact.
