Gregs on a roll. Don't think he's mist a beat yet. :lol:

now thats real heal to toe driving....

I've already started the begging for it to ride along in your trailer.:D

Sorry Sieg... No back seat.

I hear the I phone6 will have the holographic feature. Aliens built the pyramids so that art is already covered.:lmao:

Remind me what size Kirkey I need to order for the passenger side.:D

Sieg I thought I just lost those shoes in LV. Now I find out you stole them out of my luggage. Bad roommate bad.:twak:

Yes I did a bunch of reading on the pros and cons of swing vs floor pedals after mocking up my Kirkey in the car. Then :idea: I remembered how natural my Kart pedals felt with the seat being the low point. Duh, I should have already known that floor mounts would be the way to go.

No statement could be more true
:king:

Known fact, Greg only tows other people's silver (or grey?) Camaros.

Sorry Bro :lol:

Fact, GW is a die hard Camaro guy.:popcorn2:

Rob, the pedals look awesome! Now get them installed....:popcorn2:

You guys are hilarious. :popcorn2:

Ron

You didn't expect a technical discussion with this crowd on this thread did you:headscratch:

Great seeing you at the Lat G party and at Optima. Sorry I missed Phx.


Time for some brake tech:topic:


Previously on the forum you had run some brake calculations for me that are now slightly out the window. As I progressed on my engine setback project I abandoned my swing pedals and dual master setup. Buried a few post back under the ribbing you can see I posted about it.

I purchased a set of floor pedals but as with all floor pedals their ratio is limited. They are 5.75 to 1 at best so using the 100lbs std driver force there is an obvious loss in clamping force.

My floor pedals have a .875 and .813 master cylinders. Intuitively I would think with the lower pedal ratio of 5.75 maybe I should be running the .813 master for the front and a .750 for the rear to raise the line pressure and achieve a total braking force closer to 4000.

I also understand we could achieve more braking force through the use of a higher COF pad.

Intuitively doesn't make for much of a scientific discussion so plugging in the master sizes and new pedal ratio into your chart would be the best starting point for a discussion.

I also understand that setting my overall suspension parameters, either tweener or high travel, will also dictate what brake bias 65/35 or 70/30 we are targeting.

Just to be sure Rob -- smaller bore MC makes MORE pressure not less -- so if you're going to want more front brake pressure (correct) than at the rears -- you'd want the smaller dia MC for the front brakes.


A larger MC bore will give "better" pedal feel but will make less pressure… sometimes this stuff comes down to driver preference - a modulated softer pedal feel vs a high hard pedal.
