A while back after wildwood's master cylinder recall, I believe you ended up putting in a 1" master with bp20 pads and you had liked it. Which did you stick with on the car and which do you prefer? Have you noticed any more wear on the rotors with the bp20 vs bp10 with .8750master cylinder? I have a 1" on the car now with bp10's and also have a .875 on the shelf. I haven't run the car yet (will be next year at the soonest) and was wondering if I should change it first or try the 1". I do have the same aero 6p front and 4p superlites on the rear as your car.
BP40's definitely show rotor wear on the Spec 37's but rotors and pads are a wear item especially when road racing.
I can't speak for Greg as I know the '65 was lighter than my car in addition to the difference in pad compound

I like the car MUCH better with the way firmer pedal the 1" MC gives.... and while I liked modulating the small diameter MC - the 1" is the right one for this car/brake combo.

I've been thru a couple sets of pads -- no wear showing on the Spec 37 rotors. Car brakes exceptionally well - and has no added cost over initial so I'm happy with that. Sutton does a lot of stuff right and OY is done right and was all him.... so I have to give credit where credit is due.

Who gives a damn about another 3 or 400 rpm.... Car is already faster than all the other stuff on track with me.
Hmmm Debatable

Joe --- Old Yeller with it's 511 RWHP and 4 speed is hitting right at 125/130 down the front straight at Thunderhill..... and I slow to about 85 ish on Turn 1 corner entry -- and exit at maybe 95/100ish....


The NEW Yellow POS Dirty Misled Missile with 700+ HP and big aero -- would be hitting about 160 on the same straight --- and I would "expect" to see mid to high 90's on corner entry and probably 100+ on exit easily...

Those are really solid power numbers, Greg. Has a nice, fat torque curve too. Enjoy the drive
