I would find that my feet are way too busy to be trying to modulate a power brake let alone trying to trail brake one... but it's not my car. If I was only going to drive it on the street -- and I wanted a girl to drive it... then I'd put power on it. LOL
We are currently running Hawk Brake Pads! The best improvement we could have made to stop the car plus running Castrol SRF brake fluid.. The brake fluid is expensive but all forms of racing is expensive..

I played with differnet bore sizes on the master cylinders & got them better for the manual setup..

Try playing with brake pads. Youl'd be amazed at what a really good brake pad will do for what you might think is a poor brake set up
