Wanted suggestions how to create low drag Wilwood brakes

[1320racer]

there's good reason why you won't find wilwood brakes installed on any car built for drag racing by a professional chassis shop

Doesn’t Wilwood offer a low drag “ o” ring to replace the square cut seals in the calipers?

Making sure the calipers are centered is a no brainer , but switching to drilled rotors was the best thing I did. No more drag. This and the right pads.
Mine are Wilwood.

Ed,
What have you been up to? I have seen you post in a long time. Do you still have the Firebird?

[1320racer]

Bracket and class racing, I do

Other than the front wheels turning during wheelstands have you folks with the low drag brakes seen any real improvements in ET?
Thanks,
Bill

I fought with Wilwoods for a couple years before throwing in the towel and ordering Lamb/brakes/spindles/struts. They were so pretty I wanted to sleep with them. 15 years later when we sold the car you could STILL spin the tire with over a minute of 'free wheeling". My first pass with Rodgers brakes, brake pedal, master cylinder set up I actually slid the tires after using what pedal pressure I had become used to with the Wilwoods. Those things are a real piece of engineering. It was worth it just for the ease on your back when pushing through the pits. Had to be careful on little grades as the car would roll into the ones close to you. We think the car was a hundreth or 2 faster, but how do you prove it......

A Very experienced NHRA tech man told me years ago that cars that run WAY under the index are very easy to push in the staging lanes.
