Will softer or bigger brakes increase foot brake stall?

I can only hold 3000 before the rear tires start to creep, flash is around 42-4400.Need better r.ts so I'm hoping to increase foot brake stall.

You will need to increase your pedal ratio so you get more psi withe same amount of foot pressure. I just bought a used pedal and change the spot were the master cyl is attached. You still have the stock brakes on it I beleive not sure whether you ilminated the power brakes or not yet, which master cyl do you run? You asked me about my brakes this last weekend on my car. Talk to me in Woodburn in a couple of weeks.

This is a little off topic,,, but congratulations Tim, on going deep in the combo on both days last weekend. It was a decent turnout for Bremerton, which usually doesn't have a lot of S/SS cars show up throughout the season.
West Coast,, it was good to see you at our track also,, although I didn't get a chance to talk with you. Good luck the rest of the season to a couple good Mustang racers.
