Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
 

my little 5 foot 1 inch beautiful bride Beth pumps hers up to 800 psi on the starting line before engaging the two step and that's with her itty bitty size 6 feet
bobby we have some much better pads for you. same as what we put on Beth's car

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
 

600lb up front after pumping the hell out of it. Gonna try smaller master cylinder before I start trying to take this brake pedal apart.

Bobby,

I used maximum motorsports manual brake conversion kit ($199 List price) with all stock components on my Super Stocker, brakes just fine and I foot brake it too sometimes. Brake pressures (just went out to garage to check) easy push on pedal 600-800 psi, med push 1200-1400 big push 1700psi+. I love the quality of the components and Its a nice textured pedal.
Here's a link below. I syringe bleed the master backward to remove all air. Stock front t brakes, 10" ranger rears.

Ok thank you for the tip. Getting the brake pedal out was a nightmare so I stopped and put it back in and decided to get a Ford Ranger master cylinder to see if that can get me to at least 800psi. If that doesn't work then I will look into that new pedal kit from MMS.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
 

Ok got the car running again and installed the MMS brake pedal kit with better ratio so I can hold around 2300rpms on the line as opposed to the 1800 before. This is with the '86 ranger master cylinder. When I try the two step any higher than 2300 it creeps through the beam. My lights suck and I have 20lbs of air in the bias ply slicks. Need to raise launch rpm to reel the RT in. Turning 1.60-1.62 sixty foot times when not creeping. In order to hold better on the line, should I upgrade the back to a disc setup from the drum setup or should I upgrade the front to a bigger/better disc setup than the current stock configuration?

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
 

How low is the first gear in your trans and what about rear-end ratio?

A really low first gear ratio can cause the lower stall rpm.

2.92 and 4.88 with 28" goodyear slick

Bobby,

I have stock 89 brakes in front and 10" ranger brakes in the rear. Works great w/footbrake with that MM manual brake kit and stock master.
