After Market Front Brakes

I run mid/high tens at 123+ mph with the 2800 lb rated Wilwoods on our 3995 lb C/SA wagon with stock style drums out back. I stage/leave at pretty low RPM so the starting line is not a problem and they do a pretty good job on the finish line as well. The important thing is maintenance. Once performance starts to taper off it gets hairy fast. The pads are cheap!

I just to love look at the braking systems on old school drag cars and talk to the guys who drove them. Yikes! We've all got it so good these days...

Happy Thanksgiving
