Have you thought about going to dual Masters with a balance bar? That gives you the ultimate in adjustment. Just requires a little bit of fire wall surgery. Of course that's if you get it back from Charlie........

I'm going to change the piston diameters on the calipers to get a better optimized brake system do work better with the ABS. I don't want to cut up the car to add a dual master. I like the brake feel of the brake booster for street and track.

Also Charley does not want this car because he said JA is better.

Ahh.....I forgot about the ABS. I suppose a dual master would be a pain to set up with that.
So stupid question, can you change the pistons in the calipers you have or are you talking different calipers with different pistons?

I was kidding about the shock settings. I am interested in your scale results. What is your curb weight and nose percentage? I've got the 450's up front with DSE sub and aluminum big block. You have my wheels spinning with your 550's.

Brian Thomson has some ideas to get the engie up to 800 HP and still run on 93 octane. He has some other engines like mine going on his dyno soon so we have some combos to test. The first is a larger throttle body.
