Bob,

I want to thank you again for all the help !
The car brake much better now with the hydro boost, but when I power brake it the front wheels lock but the rear start to spin .
Do you think I need a proportioning valve?

Bob,

.......but when I power brake it the front wheels lock but the rear start to spin

I wonder if the 1000 ft-lbs of torque could be a factor? :biggrin:

Hydroboost Conversion

Hey! That Sounds Great! It's Something It Wouldn't Do Before. It's Been Awhile Since I Drag Raced An Automatic. Is It O.k. To Let The Rears Spin? The Fronts Are Holding The Car. 1000ft-lbs Of Torque? Cool. If You Want The Rears To Hold, Also, Then We Have To Increase Caliper Size. Adjustable Prop Valves Only Turn Down Pressure, Not Up. The Rear Caliper Pistons Need To Be Larger To Clamp The Rotor.
