I've been thinking about a brake upgrade to go along with a new engine combo that I'm working on. The 125mph I'm running now is already taxing my powermaster and stock brakes/lines pretty well. I'm hoping to significantly increase my trap speeds this season and would like to know that I can stop without going into the gravel pit at the end of the track!
Here's what I’m looking for:
My car only sees the street a couple of times per month, which might total about 100 miles. Fancy stuff like Aeromotive brakes are out of the question for now, I just can't spend that kind of money. I don't need any "bling" on the car, 'cause chrome won't get you home - functionality is more important to me than looks (seen my paint lately? ).
I already have a set of stainless braided lines I can put on the car. How about that and either a vacuum brake conversion or a full manual setup (Willwood?) with some agressive pads/shoes?
What do most the TSM guys use to slow themselves down?
Thanks,

Here's what I’m looking for:
- Best bang for the buck - I don't have much money to spend on this. Don't need anything fancy looking either - this isn’t a show car.
- Stopping power - Something better than stock.
- Reliable & Safe - The less parts that can fail the better.
- Easy install - Time is limited as it is, I don't want to spend a lot of time on some custom setup.
- Weight savings - Not a high priority, but I'd prefer NOT to add weight.
