Brake problem
Went from no problem holding the car at 3000 rpm on line to pushing thru the beam. Four wheel wilwood disc brakes.Mopar master cylinder( don't know piston diameter).Checked the pressure at each wheel. 1000 lbs coming out of master going to front brakes. 1000 lbs at front wheels. 800 lbs at rear and it will go no higher no matter how much more pressue you build up. I didn't have an adapter to measure pressure coming out going to rears.Couldn't swap lines from front to rear on master (different sizes). 3/16 lines going to fronts and 1/4 going to rears.

Re: Brake problem
Have somebody watch the car to see if the wheels are turning or sliding. Also, go over everything you've changed recently that might affect the brakes ability to hold the car, including even things like engine and converter changes. Finally, don't hold me to this, but 1000psi (front) and 800psi (rear) doesn't sound like an overabundance of clamping force.

Re: Brake problem
Is it possible to bleed just the rear brakes and recheck the pressure ? Could be an air bubble .
