Wilwood, Baer or ECI
http://ecihotrodbrakes.com/brake_pressure_multiplier.html
This is the multiplier I was talking about does anyone have experience with it? I was planning on going with BAER brakes but the company that is restoring my car said the ECI system with the multiplier would work well. I have never heard of them and want to get some opinions. I am getting very close to crunch time on brakes. So here is my question.
Wilwood, Baer or ECI system with multiplier.
With Wilwood or Baer would you use a standard power booster, I am running an LS6 motor so vacuum shouldnt be an issue. I am going disc brakes all the way around. This car is going to be a cruising car but I want excellent brakes. Dont know if I will have it on the track but you never know.
Is there a particular kit anyone recommends?

Why go to the added expense and extra plumbing involved with a pressure multiplier when you could just run a master cylinder with a smaller bore size? Either way, you're going to have more line pressure and more pedal travel given the same pedal ratio and input force.

Old setup: Procharged/intercooled/EFI 353 SBC, TKO, ATS/SPC/Global West suspension, C6 brakes & hydroboost.
In progress: LS2, 3.0 Whipple, T56 Magnum, torque arm & watts link, Wilwood Aero6/4 brakes, Mk60 ABS, vaporworx, floater 9" rear, etc.

Heh- Search worked...
More Details From the Mag (not all on the website):
The ECI Brake Pressure Multiplier (BPM) utilizes a unique step-piston configuration to increase brake-system pressures form 50 to 60 % where it's needed most - at higher pedal forces. The BPM uses the excess fluid capacity available in the master cylinder bore to provide increased line pressure for the low volume requirements of a small piston caliper brake system. Due to it's step-piston multiplication system , the BPM continues to provide 150 to 160% of inlet pressure as pedal effort increases., unlike a vacuum booster assist, which remains constant after maximum boost is reached with line pressure only increasing linearly with increased pedal pressure. Low-pressure operation and system filling remain unchanged, with the pressure multiplication occurring only at the higher pressure levels requires for fast braking. Minimal system alteration is required, since the BPM is installed in the brake line and can be used with or without a vacuum booster.
