I've been fighting a braking problem for awhile now. Decided to measure the line pressure to my front calipers and came up with 800psi using the SSBC pressure kit.

Basic rundown of the car :

-original power drum brakes now manual disc
-SSBC 4 piston 43mm calipers with 11in slotted rotors
-Willwood 1in master cylinder
-Hurst line lock to front brakes
-proprtioning valve to 11in rear drum brakes

*Heavy 68 Charger that sees some strip action...need better brakes

I was also wondering if there are different length brake pedals. Something along the lines of a longer brake arm to increase leverage at the master cylinder to increase line pressure and caliper clamping force.

Mine still has the stock brake pedal that came with the power assisted drum brakes.


Thanks in advance for any input
