Rob,

Looking at the math, I think the answer is that the Brake Torque line represents the amount of work that the front brakes on an application would be doing while the Total Braking Torque if 70% line means that if 70% of your total car braking is done in the front, and 30% in the back, then you have a combined braking torque equal to that last line. Thus, if you multiply the value in the bottom line by 70%, you get the number in the Brake Torque line (at least for your W6A caliper):

3141 * 0.7 = 2198.7 (2199 rounded)

Now, exactly what the Total Braking Torque number actually means, I'm not sure. I think it refers back to Ron's Guideline, meaning that the 3141 total would fall between the 3000# (Performance Production Car) and the 3500# (Good street & track braking system) areas. Ron, could you please confirm that I'm understanding what that row of the table is referring to?

(I've said it before, and I'm saying it again... I love all this tech you are providing!!! THANX! )
