As for a power booster setup, a dual 8" or single 11" both have about the same effective area and would match up pretty well with a 1" bore MC given the 4.8/3.0 square inch front/rear caliper piston areas that you're running. A dual 9" booster would give you another ~30% boost...something that could come in handy if you want to run a low-dust, low coefficient of friction (CoF) pad (ie ceramic). What brake pads are you running? Low CoF pads combined with relatively small diameter rotors and performance tires can make achieving lockup much more difficult.

Hey Tobin thanks.....I was waiting for you to chime in. I still have the stock Wilwood pads that came with the setup. Are they a sub-standard pad?
