Race cars don't use power brakes...

I run big azz Baer discs all around - a Wilwood 7/8" Master cylinder - 6:1 pedal ratio - and I'll throw your azz thru the front window on a hard stop... no need for power anything in my book.

My 56 Nomad is heavy at 4023 lbs... and the brakes work GREAT! 3/16" SS lines... a Wilwood manual adjustable proportioning valve to the rears...

BUT if I ever wanted power brakes - I'd be all over the Hydroboost system... it's just that it's not necessary.
