t-rex and braking (daily driver)
going with a cam pretty soon hopefully to get some mid 10 second ETs in my z28, i'm wondering how the braking on my car will be with the T-REX. i have powerslot rotors with hawk pads and i am putting earl's lines on pretty soon...will i have trouble daily driving it with that big beast?

If your referring to Vacuum being low, no, it will be fine..If you mean will the brakes be fine to stop a 10 sec. car, yes, stock brakes work fine as well.
It's all in the tune to make it streetable, even then, for a daily driver it's borderline IMO.

It hasn't changed my pedal pressure at all even when I was running a completely stock tune. It will make your pads wear out faster though
