Anybody on here know of the best deal on aerospace, strange, or wilwood. Thought there used to be an aerospace dealer on here. Thanks for any help.

Be very careful on staging with the disc brakes, they do not hold as well on the starting line as drum brakes do A trans brake will be your friend for this application Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Be very careful on staging with the disc brakes, they do not hold as well on the starting line as drum brakes do A trans brake will be your friend for this application That was my experience years back. A brake wasn't in the cards so I went back to the drums.....their " self energizing " properties made them hold much better. I never had to really stand on either one , so I can't say that the discs stopped noticeably better , but you definitely knock off a BIG chunk of weight switching from drum to disc.
