[QUOTE="Blase, post: 296913, member: 424"] I agree with Patooyee. ......I think. From what i've read you need two 3/4" master cylinders with 2lbs residual pressure valves for the calipers that you are running. wether you run them on two pedals is up to you. I know I had 1 7/8 and 1 1" master on 1/2 ton chevy calipers when I first built my buggy and I had a hard time stopping it. after some reading I switched to two 3/4" masters and 2 lbs pressure valves I was MUCH happier!! still not BJ hydro boost good but almost twice as good as they were with less leg effort. I had a little longer stroke on the brake pedal but not too bad. For the cost of new master cylinders and some residual pressure valves I'd give that a shot before you junk all those new calipers and rotors that you bought!! If you do decide hydro boost is the way to go can you put a thicker rotor on those new hubs that you bought? And would you need to? I know Bjs set up uses a "thin" rotor but i'm not sure how thick it is. [/QUOTE]
