That makes a lot of sense Todd. I've thought about going power brakes on a future project. I like my two individual 7/8" masters for hauling the car down from speed, but on the autocross it feels like an on-off switch. Trail braking feels a bit like guess work. On the street, I also miss that comforting initial bite that power brakes offer. I've had moments where people cut in front of other cars, stopping traffic, and creating an "oh sh-- moment." I stopped just fine because I'm used to really slamming on the brake pedal, but it is a weird feeling that takes getting used to.
Pasquale, I don't know what the Wilwood equivalent would be, but I think a DSE booster with C6 PBR big 2 piston brakes, and the right pads would work just fine for stopping the car. There are certainly better brakes out there, but I don't know how much any of them would improve single instance stopping distances, especially with street tires.
