My old master and booster are so torn to hell (rust on the booster, leaky master....) I would have to buy a new one anyway, and that price is rediculous.

I like the Kens Kustom unit cause its clean and small. My question is, I see alot of people run the Wilwood Master on the Kens Kustom Plate instead of the Kens Master. What is the advantage? I assume the wilwood is bigger so in turn a little more stopping power to overcome not having a booster?

Also picture a proportioning valve:

Since these masters have only 1 line feed. Can i take 2 90degree bends off the prop valve, one facing down and one up that go to a T fitting and connect the single feed to the T?

so it will look like this (prop valve) ]-----(master cylinder)

^^^ use ur imagination on my baller diagram ;)

Thanks guys

What is the car used for? Pedal effort will be MUCH higher than stock. Master cylinder size will depend on a lot of different variables.

mostly some fun on the weekends or after work. Im getting a daily beginning of the year.

Altho there seem to be quite a few people around that run them daily with no issues, unless your a baby and dont have any legmuscles they say you will be fine.

Running non power brakes will limit what size master you can run to an extent also. Bigger master = more pedal effort. I've driven over 100 cars without power brakes and I don't think I'd ever go back to them on a modern car. Absolutely no practical reason too on a street car. If you do any driving that requires lots of braking(ie. road course, stop and go etc) you will be building some extra leg muscle.

Ill take that into consideration. Im going to see how I like it. Can always get a booster setup afterwards.
