Both of these have manual brakes Pauls (the green one) has Wilwood superlite 4 piston front and Dynalite 4 piston rear with a Wilwood 1" master.
and it stops, you can lock it up but it is actually easier to modulate when they lock up over say the TransAm we did that has Hydroboost. My Car ( the white/grey one) is a drag car and runs the wilwood 10.75" 4 piston front and 11" 4 piston rear with a wilwood 7/8" master ( i wanted more line pressure to hold the car in the burn out box on the line lock so that is why the smaller master) it weighs 3200 with me. and it stops from 137mph. i dont even have a prop valve in it, i have had 4 drag cars with different brake systems the last one was a super comp 2000 mustang with the same brake system as my camaro and it would stop from 168 mph no problem.
Scott i agree with who ever said the Chevelle brake system must not have been set up correctly.
the other thing to consider is how "YOU" like the brakes to feel, maybe the guy who owned the chevelle was an ape and had really strong legs??? i tell guys all day long that you may have to change tha master a couple times to get the "Feel" correct for "YOU"
theres .02 more
