> that booser delete is actually sold and made by a drag racing company for that use. soooo im gonna guess it works ok. from people i asked about it they said its the same as if you drove an old car with no booster you just have to stand on the pedal a bit more. they say its not any less braking you just have to push harder for it to work. haha

> as for the show car. nahhh this will be drag raced bi-weekly and all other forms of racing when they come up i plan to autox it again and get onto the track at bever run, mid ohio and summit point. it will also be daily driven in the summer im not paying for 2 cars to insure. im cheap unless its car parts.

I understand that it’s from a drag company…it’s application is for when you are on the brakes for a few seconds at most, not repeatedly for an hour or something. Drag companies also make smaller/lighter brakes that aren’t even safe for street use…let alone track use, so I’m going to guess it is going to suck on track. Not hating, but pressure needed to stop the car (especially one that makes 500whp) goes up exponentially with respect to temperature. It takes significantly more pedal pressure to stop my car even after 3 or 4 laps. My point is this: You are going to make enough power to attain some high speeds, and you basically have less braking power than stock to slow you down. I’m just trying to keep you safe, that’s all.

BTW what are you going to do about tire compound and brake compound?
