I'm not sure that I've had a bike that had enough brakes to lock (skid) the front wheel on dry pavement, and I'm not sure why that would be a performance goal to chase.

Pretty much all of my bikes, though, have enough brakes to lift the back wheel, at which point 'more' front brake just means that you can launch yourself OTB just that much harder.
One front brake should be sufficient for this, if it's not; you've got your setup wrong
