What master are you using with the Z06 brakes

[68protouring454]

i went with the stock c5/c6 z-51 master, which until you get to the c6 z06 the calipers are the same between the c5/c6, paul said it was the best bet!!!

Yeah,

but i've read that some have used C6-Z packages with some HB units and that the difference was major. It would seem the C6 system may not even have enough pressure for what it is... Then again, i have a hard time believing this, GM would spend Millions to get the unproper system in its Supercar??? I don't think so.

It would be simple as hell to just use the complete systemas it was designed to worl altogether, but do you have to take into account pedal ratio still? or do you just get it to fit and call it done?

I'm sharing the opinion that the Z06 set up is still a good looking unit(did not even see it but must look like any recent model) but in my car which is mostly custom, i'd prefer having something like the Wilwood unit, it looks much more HP oriented and lets face it, when you pop the hood people see it right away and if the didn't notice the Calipers...It will take them there in a heart beat!

I just think i have to take some decisions now (and they are always $ related ) and i might just save up a bit then and step up to a HB unit and the wilwood piece of art.

One question for Paul tough, what metering block will i have to run with your unit? Does it come/ or something of the like, with the HB unit?

I like this thread, thanks for your input guy's.

Here is the thread i found very interesting...It has the formula to find the right MC;

if you are running a hydraboost, go as big as possible in MC size to get as little pedal travel as possible, the hydraboost will be spec'ed to what ever you decide to run..

Thanks guys for your input. I was told that a C3 1 1/8 master would work just fine. There was a Vette made with the larger four piston calipers so the reservoir is pretty large and the bore size is about right fir the C6 Z06 brakes.

That must be good,only downside i know its cast iron.
