I prefer a .45 caliber
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

Get a v6 master cyl from a yard, they have a larger bore. Get v6 calipers, and do Ifs hub mod. Remove lspv in rear, or tie it up. These combined will make you stop 4ds on a dime. And if you wanna get real bling, you can do rear disks.

Is the master and the calipers a bolt on or do you have to mod anything?

thanks for all the info fellas.
