ok, I am used to manual boost controllers.

We're moving again...
Ordered:
2nd set of Aerospace 4 piston calipers for rear, brackets, and pads
Proportioning Valve
Residual Valve
brake lines

Picked up:
Front headlight support, broke last pass at the track
Toggle switch to turn on the logger

Changed:
Added 3 stages to boost controller
Added a couple % of fuel to the VE
Added 1" of travel up front

Hopefully we can get the car finished tuesday or wednesday so we can make some passes again this friday. We will also try to scale the car and figure out where to add 200#.

Yeah, basically outlaw drag radial, min weight is 3200-3400. Considering most turbo cars are 3400-3700 I'm happy with what mine weighs.

sorry for the kinda off topic question , but how are you going to plumb the 2nd set of calipers? wouldn't you need more fluid volume to the rear?

Here is what we got....
Aerospace Master setup for 70% front 30% rear
We're going to plumb both into one line so we've got 100% front and rear
Add a proportoning valve and a 2# residual valve for the rear
We'll dial the rear brakes just tight enough to hold the car at 4000-5000rpms in low gear

I believe one in front and one in the rear is how most people do it

Aerospace sells a bracket for the big ford 9" ends that mounts a caliper at the 3 o'clock and at the 9 o'clock position.

Yep, we'll have 4 holes in the middle for the 9" ends than 2 brackets on each side for the calipers.
