Get Chevy S10 truck rear brake, soft pads, Or for under $200, you can get a T-brake, and install without dropping the trans! Those are FUN! Call Art Carr, or Poston.

Cheap method.....

....Try locking the E-brake, then step on the brake. You should be able to get a few more pounds. The S-10 cylinders will work, but may make the rear brakes a bit more touchy while street driving. The Trans Brake is the ultimate setup, but can be harder on the drivetrain.
