Are all your brake lines 3/16"? AND you BENCH BLED that master prior to installation?

I still can't believe how many people DON'T do that... and then P and moan about their poopie brake performance! That and they run 1/4" lines... so the pressure you make with the smaller diameter master - is eaten by the larger diameter lines (total fluid volume in the system)...

I ASSume you're running an adjustable prop valve.... which (IMHO) are almost useless given our tire sizes... I'm sure that will cause a big argument now - but I think they're useless because of the TIRE SIZE BIAS we've already dialed in... Our rears are larger diameter - and fatter to begin with... add a bit of nose dive/weight transfer... and the fronts are locking up first.

Yes and yes. There's not one air bubble in one brake line! Pedal is great as long as you go straight. LOL

I knew that - but I "ask" because OTHERS read these threads - and the question might get them 'on board' with diagnosing their issues (if any).

I've never tracked my Nomad - so I might have the same issues you're having... and just don't know it!

I've got Wilwoods on the Minotti... but it's still a work in progress - but I'm most definitely planning on tracking that car!

Good luck with the brake issue Todd. The car looks great out on the track!

I know you went over this somewhere back in this thread but I didn't find it after a QUICK search. If you don't mind answering again what wheel and tire combo you are running on the track. Brand included please?
Thanks!

Thanks man....I'm running a Forgeline ZX3R with titanium bolts, brushed outer/matte black center. The widths are 18x12 and 18x10 with a 335/30/18 and 275/35/18. Extremely happy with the combination. I just want to add that these videos are from the first heat and I picked up a full 3 seconds towards the end of my last heat with a best of 45.3...
