All my cars use ONLY Wilwood manual master cylinder... but they also all have disc brakes all around.

So here's the deal...

You have to actually lift your leg and place your foot on the pedal... it ain't the one big toe stop that most power brakes are.

As far as stopping power - I can throw you right thru the front windshield... but I have to use my leg and not my big toe.

There's a couple of things that Wilwood will tell you. A 7/8" M/C will give you more pedal modulation -- a 1" will be a higher and harder pedal. I only use the 7/8". I also use a 6 to 1 pedal ratio - which you'll have to change from your current 4 to 1 ratio (which is what p/b's use).
