Default braking setup.

going to be getting a real stagging brake and a boosterless front system. what size wilwood master is everyone using? i understand the larger the bore the stiffer the brake will be. is the 3/4 too small to run the front brakes?

I guess you could say its a little stiff. But I believe its that way because of no booster. Just makes it a little more difficult to push with out the assist of a booster.
I stopped just fine from 146mph to 150. Ive only been 150.65, so over that, I dont know. Id probably use a chute past that point though. I actually did use it on the 150.65 speed.
