Brake Jumper

Anybody useing one of these from Aggressive Auto?Just would like some input on this,how it works,does it work?thanX!

If you're refering to the solenoid that bypasses the proportioning valve, I use one. It has kept me from pushng through the lights while building boost. I purchased mine from Rons Auto, but I'm sure others have it. At the same time, get some soft brake shoes installed. Brian

Just so I understand (note that I am a newbie).

This changes the proportion of braking between front and back? Allowing it to hold on the front bakes while you build up pressure?

Normally the rear brakes has approxitemately 60-80% less hydraulic brake pressure than the front brakes.

What the brake jumper does is to bypass the proportioning valve.
This is the device that reduces the braking pressure to the rear wheel, while allowing full pressure to the front wheel.
When you active the jumper, the rear brake cylinders can get the same (or close to it) pressure as the front, that is when you push on the brake peddle. Both front and rear brakes has max hydraulic fluid pressure to give you max holding.
