Chad, how you gonna handle clutch and brake pedals with crutches
Anyway, got my gauge back, so this weekend I'm measuring actual line pressure and stroke length on the car. I did talk to both wilwood and carbotech today. The one thing wilwood brought up was that I have one piece of 1/4" line on the car, between the prop valve and the rear "t" above the diff. While that wouldn't affect the front, they said it could impact the rear (though I'm not in total agreement). I also mentioned the 3/4" bore master, and they weren't wildly supportive. Who knows. I need to do some measuring first.
Some things I did pretty much decide. I think I'm pulling the 12.2" forged dynalite 4 piston brakes, and replacing them with 14" superlites. The rotors are quite a bit thicker as well as larger, which is important. If I do make some hpde events this year, I want to take no chances when I start pushing that 462 on the straights. The dynalites are perfectly good, and somebody will buy them. I even have extra pads. I'm also going to try some carbotech pads. They recommended the ax6 for the back and xp10s for street, xp12s or rp2s for the track on the front. One other nice thing is that you can order the pads pre-bedded.
Let's see what happens this weekend.
