Manual brakes take more effort to stop a car.. It is nice when you have one master cylinder to control the front & another to control the rear with the capability to bias out in the cab of the car but we are giving up time on the road course by not being able to go deep into turn.. Most forms of racing use a pedal assembly like what I have in the Challenger but you have to find the right combination of bore size in the master cylinders plus friction material on brake pads.. The power booster will aid in stopping the car with less effort on the foot plus you will not be as tired from a 30 minute session on the road course.. Another key factor that will help on the Auto-X will be that with a tap on the front brakes.. it will help set the weight on the nose & help rotate the car around cones.. Our C5 Vettes are spoiling us with their braking capabilities! But most important of all.. Karl wants power brakes on all his cars..
We are also looking @ setting up two cars here @ the shop with a Antilock Braking System ABS M4 from Bosch Motorsport.. hoping that these will systems will find their way into Blu Balz & the Challenger.. Big benefits from this on the track!
