64 Nova 11" braking performance question
My project is not running yet, LOL. Just wondering if anyone has tried the following brake package on a comparable car.
64 Chevy II, weight #3000
LS3/T56 trans
Wilwood manual master cylinder
11" drilled and slotted single piston Speedway front disc brake kit
11" rear Explorer factory disc, 8.8 rear end
18x8" 245mm front Firehawk Indy 500 tire
18x9.5" 275mm rear Indy 500 tire
Am possibly looking to upgrade to a 13" C5 brake package

A number of years ago I read some tech article about the Explorer rear discs. The pistons in the rear calipers are quite large. May cause premature lock up even with an adjustable prop valve. I've used the C5 13" brakes a number of times with great success.
Call Tobin at KORE3 for expert advice.
