im debating a booster , not sure yet an 1 1/8 bore ? Will it bolt right up ?

I would run a 1" bore with no booster.
1-1/8" bore with a booster.

ok Thanks lolife !

I did the 1 1/8 with a CPP booster. The brakes are really firm but not snappy / touchy.

^^ Keith's the man .. I went with his recommendation too.

Chad have you had time to "burnish the brakes"?

Just wonder if they got any better?

Another method:

This recommended procedure is:
• 8 moderate brake applications from 40 to 10 mph at approximately ¼-mile intervals.
• 8 somewhat harder brake applications from 60 to 10 mph at approximately ½-mile intervals.
• Drive 1.5 miles
• * 5 hard (but less than ABS) applications from 80 to 20 mph at 3/4-mile intervals. Drive at least two miles after last application.
• Allow brakes to cool at least 15 minutes either by parking the vehicle or continuing to drive at moderate speeds with minimal brake applications

I have driven it from the basement to the end of the driveway so far.

Had planned on burnishing this weekend if all goes as planned.
