My truck in manwell brakes. While no street time, I have certainly challenged the system stopping over two tons at 154 mph with no issues. That was with the factory front brakes and even the stock pads from the when the truck was brand new and some little chicken **** Strange drag brakes on the rear.

All in the master cylinder. Don't take advise from someone who has only read about it.

Curious about this also. I assume you have to buy an aftermarket master cylinder? You cant just remove the brake booster and increase the ratio on the pedal?
