you say two masters for front and back so is this for 4 caliper rear brakes ?

How high off the floor is your tunnel ?


1.80 straight cut thanks
turbo 350 input ?

What rear gears do you suggest ? and what size of tire ?

Thanks for your time and answers much appreciated

I'm using Wilwood's dual master (think it's their 260-4894), have two brake lines running to the back, and have dual caliper rears. I have my daughter in a nearly 180mph car. Didn't want to have to explain to her mother why the brakes failed...

Haven't measured the tunnel, but my guess is maybe 3" tall? It's a glove box on top of a tunnel for fuel/wiring lines.

Rear gears and tires go together as you know. Depends on your car, your power, etc. You want to be headed through the lights just short of red line. I'm running 4.10 rear gears with 33.5/17-16s but again, we have much more engine than it sounds like you do. You need to solve this for yourself, but 4.10 is very common.
