How hard do u have to stomp them to get them to lock up?
Have u had it on the dragstrip yet , and how hi could u stall it w/ the discs ?
I found that mine dont hold as well as drums do when trying to hold it on the line .--------???
Not so, I have a 15/16'' bore master on mine w/ 4 wheel manual discs, very little travel and great pedal heigth > normal really.
I have been thinking about going to a 7/8'' master, but isnt that big a problem, altho I cant lock them up.
I successfully used a vacuum canister w/ an air pump on a 600horse sbc . the power brakes worked great as long as u didn't keep pumping them. The check valve is very important, I had one on the vacuum pump in addition to the stock one in the stock master cyl.

A LOT OF A BODY GUYS IN THE PAST, HAVE BEEN RECOMENDED TO USE TWO "LEFT" SPRINGS IN THE WEIGHT OF UR CHOICE. Last post I read on the subject was by a mopar retailer.
We used the 002-003 springs on a hemi/727 , 1967 belevedere, they worked pretty darn good ! It was tubbed an ran 14 to 16" slicks tho. The track prep back then absolutely sucked !
back in the day, when s.s. springs were the hottest ticket, Chrysler always said it was better to go to a lighter spring than a heavier one for dragracing. You just may have to replace them once in a while. Tom Hoover even told us that in okc one time !
I ran a hemi superstock type 67 belevedere for 14 yrs w/ 318 bars , it ended up being a drag only car, no problems. I was a straight line type guy for the most part.
don` t know the answer to ur question, but we ran 002-003 springs on a 67,tubbed, hemi belvedere back in the day, wasn`t too high, and worked pretty well w/ the rear unclamped. couldn't keep clamps on the front, or a pinion snubber on it, it would tear them up! The tires back then really sucked...
been watching those on ebay, for same price. too heavy for my taste, but like the look. would be killer w/ rocket launchers in front, w/ the centers a matching color too.
think I read where mancini, or dr diff. or some one recommended using two driver side springs for a level setting car , that would work on the street and strip.
