I was too lazy to go back and see

what brake calipers ans sizes you were running, but if you are using willwood in the C5/C6 sizing and a 6:1 pedal ratio, you can drop the rear master to 3/4 and adjust the bias more towards the front. Will give you a little longer pedal.

What pads are you running?

I would opt for the larger 550 lbs in the front and a 300 or 325 in the rear. Guess I should ask what rate you front bar is and if you are running a rear bar.

Matt,
Who spec those master cylinders for you? Wildwood?

If I drop to 3/4 rear I will probably need to add a proportioning valve since I doubt the balance bar will have enough adjustment. It might if I get the rod lengths close to right. My brain is hurting trying to visualize if that would affect bias too.

DJW, Wilwood spc'd the masters and did tell me if I wasn't happy to drop to a 3/4 (just now remembered that part of the conversation.

With that small of a ratio

I would run a .70 in the front and 3/4 in the rear. It will keep you bias correct, increase your pressure with the same leg input.

Those masters are a touch on the large size for the pedal ratio. I am guessing it takes a fair amount of leg effort on your part to get the car to stop.

What pads are you running? That will make the single biggest difference in your braking, feel and modulation than anything else you will do.

I got the intake manifold from Jeff Davis of Precision Metal Craft. I don't remember where the valve covers came from. I think I prefer them to the ones I have now, although the original ones I had didn't come with any venting.

Matt,

This gettin' ready for Optima ain't for posers, huh? :D

Now, how bout some hi-res pics of Dead Pool?

:lol:
