OK I see..I kind of got lost on your row of cars where you had a Stage Motor..

Thanks

No vacuum brakes for me, the PM is great unless it fails......Just don;t put your roll cage bar in front of the E-brake.

Norbs, I could not use the PM because the Headers that Mike did for me would not clear the PM Motor.
Othrteise I still would be using it.

I assume Stephan stopped okay. What did he use?

 

[J-B Racing]

he had the Power master because he was using the ATR Headers. Now with the 540 I don't know. Maybe I will ask him later.

Did you have a Big Cam? or a Vacuum Canister??

Well I have decided not to go with Vacuum. And I am not too thrilled of Manual Master Braking.... So I am slowly thinking of going back
to a Power Master. I should of not sold the PM. All I have to do is just move the Motor in another direction and it will clear the
Headers. Many of you hate the PM, but I loved the Braking Power of it.

The power master has great pressure, but your better off to install the hydroboost system, the power master could fail at any time. A car crashed since he had a powermaster and it failed, and the e-brake was not accessible since the roll cage bar was installed in front of it....very smart. IMHO.

My stage car has manual brakes, but I love the hydro-system on my streetcar and dually, can't say that I like the idea of a vacuum system on a boosted application, GM didn't either.

Yes..I did love the stopping power of it. If I do out it back, all I have to do is move the Motor under the Master to clear the Headers.

Conclusion is the Brakes work great. No additional Canister on a Cam making 13" of Vacuum.
