    LS1 front brake upgrade master cylinder

    I had a 1980 original power boster and the caprice master would not fit it. I had to buy a power boster for a 86 cutlass. All the gn and t type boosters should work with the caprice master. On my stock 1980 booster the master cylinder piston bore would not fit into the hole on the booster...

    LS1 front brake upgrade master cylinder

    I installed a different master over the weekend. After some research I picked a step bore master of of a 86 caprice. It has a 40mm and a 28mm piston. Now the pedal Is higher and vechile stops much better. Also holds the car better at the starting line when trying to load the convertor.

    Have some results. Car stops great but the brake pedal is low. Have adjusted rears really tight and bleed system 5 times. Just has to much travel before it starts applying brakes. I think I might try a larger bore master to get the brake pedal back.

    Got my new shoes on. What do you think.

    Thanks again. Car has been a real project. Had many different small/bigblock combo's. But I put an ls1/4l60e in it 7years ago and have never looked bad. Future plans are ls1 twin turbo with a 6 speed.

    That is just a n/a pass. If I could get it to hook on the 150 shot I could do some big wheelies on 17's

    These are the wheels that were on the car before the street lites. I like the new ones alot better. I plan on some bigger wheelies on the new wheels:biggrin:

    Thanks for the replies. I have some better pics but can't get them resized to post. Car has a LS1/4l60e conversion done by me. With some help from Speed Inc. Color is sunset orange metallic. Factory GM color. I think I got the other pics resized to fit.

    Finally got my new 17 inch street lites. These are the first set ever made in 17 inch. I got a buddy that deals with billet specialties. What do you think. I really like the deep dish in the rear. rears are 17/9.5 with 275/40/17 ET Street Radials fronts are 17/7 with 215/50/17 tires.
