Let's start with what I originally outlined but with the 5.75-1 pedals ... making 3562# total braking at 100# of leg pressure ... and see how the braking characteristics fit you. We'll "tune & adjust" to your tastes after you and the car get up to speed.

Thanks Ron. It is a great benefit for anyone contemplating setting up any part of their car for you to weigh in on the reasons for making specific choices. I really enjoy the technical explanations of why.

Don't you have a 54 year old 390 to finish.

Yea low budget drag racer filling the bottom half of the blocks water passages with concrete to strengthen it. I wonder how much hp he was putting down for those 350 passes before it grenaded.

At least it went out in style.
