It also might help with a future business I may be starting.

Would the future business be a N2billet's hot rods?

If you ask him that in person when your standing by his truck at a show, He'll say "hell go drive it and see how it feels." That's what he did me

I was fortunate enough to get to drive Hazel and to my surprise the Wilwood master cylinder worked great with a nice firm but easily responsive pedal, from 65 mph i could touch the pedal and the truck would react as if it had a booster. Only way to go.

Chvy2NV · 03-14-2013, 08:41 AM

What size master cylinder ?

I have a factory booster and a Wilwood MC ready for my gmc. Is that going to be too much? Overkill I mean? Should I ditch the booster?

Depends on bore size of your MC. The way I understand it is most power brake setups use a larger bore size than manual brake setups. I believe 7/8" bore for manual brakes is the consensus. Take my thoughts with a grain of sand though as I'm no expert. Too large a bore without a booster and I believe you will be doing leg presses to stop.

Might be a couple of weeks before the next updates (or some that actually can be seen) my plate is a little full at the moment.

Gus350 · 03-19-2013, 10:25 AM
