Staggered brake setup best for foot braking?

[03supercharged]

Hey guys, I have a quick question..

What is the best rear brake setup to hold the car in the hole for drag racing?

I have a ford 9 inch im installing right now with disc brakes. Should I stagger the calipers or should I leave them both pointing towards the same direction? I have heard if you staggered the calipers (basically be using two of the same calipers in the rear) that they hold the car better for foot braking.

Any help will be great.

Thanks,

Josh

Anyone?

i don't see how it would matter how the calipers were oriented- the torque will be trying to turn the rotors, which will be trying to take the calipers with them..

Only difference would be weight bias, and looking odd

Drums...

If you went to vacuume brakes, forget the foot braking an add a Tranny Brake.

Drums...

im inclined to agree. theres twice as much surface area with the drums especially with 2 main shoes. key is proper adjustment so that you can take advantage of maximum self energizing of the drums.

im running a 9 inch with disks,and coming off of a 10 bolt with drums with s10 cylinders and adjusted properly, the disks are holding more boost.i run a powermaster with stainless lines syn fluid.i was pleasantly surprised
