Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade

The truck we tested is a heavy half. We even out stopped all but 1 of the cars that were being tested that day. The only car to out stop us was on 14” rotors, 6 piston calipers, and sticky tires. In fact all of the “race” cars had at least 13” rotors, and very sticky tires. Their test driver commented that the truck was the easiest to drive at the limits. All of the “race” cars required a lot of driver control, most wanted to spin out during every maneuver being tested. During the brake testing in the truck he actually let go of the steering wheel, and stopped perfectly straight. None of the other cars could come even close to stopping straight on their own.

Gee . . ... Thanks for being there when I tried to get this going a year ago.

Why can't you give the details of how it went?
What options does the CPP kit come with?
What parts are available independently?
Will you offer both stock & dropped spindle kits?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
