This is going on my '78 Trans Am. I have been running a C5 Z06 brake package.

Well...that should make a noticeable difference in braking force!

Looks like your helper approves as well.

Someone trying to win that 25k?

Any changes to the master cylinder as well or just the brakes? Just curious, don't know of a reason it would be needed...

Greater piston area on the new calipers?

Yes, like 40% more. The thing that I think I'll notice most is the heat dissipation. The brakes got very hot up a PPIR on the roval after a few laps of hard running.

I'm already running a 1" bore master, so I think that's going to work out. I don't know, there may be something I need to do with the rears to control bias.
