abs delete Hey guys, ive been looking around and searching for some info on the ABS delete most of the afternoon today, and one thing i didnt notice was the absence of using a combination valve in ABS deletes. Most people just use the adj rear proportioning valve. I was wondering if anyone in here had used a combination valve? If so id like to hear some discussion from both sides of the table and any pros and cons youve noticed.
Thanks!
Thanks!
A combination valve is in part a proportioning valve in addition to a few other add-ons. They typically include a pressure diff... and a metering valve which runs on the concept of when it (valve) reaches a specific pressure threshold, it will allows initial pressure to activate typically in the rear brakes over the fronts until it reaches the threshold.
Are the other portions of the setup beneficial over just a proportioning valve?...sure there can be. They are typically setup for specific wheel/tire configurations and not adjustable. This can have it's disadvantages as if you change from extreme setups i.e. street rims to drag rims, biasing from front to rear will be very much different. Therefore an adjustable proportioning valve is a great asset to this type of setup.
Newer ABS modules and their BCM compensate for many of the above situations but can complain quite often making it very annoying to have installed. It can activate during times you really don't want it to activate.
ABS does have its place on the street for the general public but I feel that for racing applications i.e. drag or road race, they are nothing but a large nuisance. They add extra headaches, heavy, and take up too much valuable space...they also cause extra un-necessary expenses for the guys whom are purchasing aftermarket rear end and/or troubleshooting a problematic or malfunctioning unit.

Thanks for the reply Steve! Exactly what I was hoping to find. I was considering ordering one of your kits recently when I orderd some blockoff plates for the LT1 intake i just picked up, but im going to go ahead and do my own.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
