As for your setup, a single tandem MC is going to be your simplest solution, although you won't have the advantage of being able to adjust your bias via the balance bar. This can be a significant advantage when you've got an imbalanced car and/or brake system, but since you're starting out with fairly well balanced car and brakes, it's not as significant of an advantage.

The C5/C6 brakes like some pressure, so a dual 9" diaphragm booster like used on the LS1 F-bodies (DSE kits, etc) with a 1" bore MC (LS1, C5, C6, Wilwood, etc) is a pretty safe combination. We've had many customers run 1" bore MC's with smaller dual 8" boosters as well as the OE single diaphragm units, and it just increases the pedal effort proportionally. Just be sure that you've got adequate vacuum from your engine and you should be okay.

I was hoping you wold chime in! I will need to place an order for the rear brake bracket kit you sell... Do you sell the master cylinder as well? I am running the power booster from a '79 Trans Am WS6 (4 wheel disc dual diaphragm unit) and I think it should work quite well. If you do sell the master, which do you think is the best?

By the way, did you read all of the Hitchhikers Books? "Mostly Harmless, the 5th book in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhikers trilogy."
