Brakes not stopping very good !!

Are you able to push the pedal all the way to the floor? Perhaps you need to move the seat forward or a put pillow behind you to help those short legs reach the pedal. You can always go old school and tape a block to the pedal.

What are the specs on the factory ZR1 master? It stops just fine with little heat in the rotors. From what I understand, there's nothing magic about the CC stuff until you get into ABS programming, which isn't an issue here. I'd expect with a proper master you should have good brakes with the possible downside being that they'll get grabby and prone to locking up when you get them good and warm. Opposite of the issue you're having.

Edit: just realized the lack of power assist will make that comparison to the factory part less meaningful. Maybe Tobin with Kore3 can assist, he's good with the math stuff

Look at your Avitar!

Personally I would put power brakes on it, but thats just me. Sometimes safety/function should outway form, or make it a focal point. Most the manual brakes setups I have done (customer request) I am rarely happy with the outcome.

I agree with Mike. Unless it's a race car, power brakes are superior on the street. Manual brakes give you the ultimate feel and control under heavy braking, but there are trade offs and my opinion, street drivability is one of them.

Kore3 set me up with wil-260-8556-bk wilwood 1.125 bore since I went with c6 z06 corvette brakes. I can tell you my car stops very very hard without much effort. I honestly feel my 67 camaro brake pedal brakes just like my 2015 Infiniti as far as pedal feel but my 67 will stop on a dime. I'm also running hydroboost

humm we only do manual brakes and have never had any complaints.
with Baer proplus we use a 1" and with Wilwood a 15/16" master

Customers don't complain, they asked for them. It's alot of work to properly size piston bores, master cylinder bore, pedal ration, etc to get manual brakes to work like I want them to work. No big deal if your installing the same setup multiple times. Unless the customer is asking for a manual setup, I would rather have the safety margin of power brakes for customers that own way more car than they can drive to start with.

As much as this sounds like a joke it was the problem I had with my car. I thought for sure I had enough travel but didn't. Brakes wouldn't stop at all until I extended the linkage and added ~1-2" of travel. After the extension they were terrific. I have a 7/8 with Wilwoods, might not be the same issue but I really think its a test you should try
