I really need a 1" master if I'm staying with the PBRs, which should be adequate for my racing. Same stuff stopped my Cobra on a dime.

Jeff, no these were on a 85 running 6 piston Wilwoods up front and 4 Piston Wilwoods out back the GN III design. I've had the F body master in the attic for a year or so and never put it on my 89. The 89 is running the Wilwood GN III's as well. I purchased the set up I am running now from the Rippies and Randy has been telling me I need to do the F-Body MC to get the full benefit on the system. I need to find the time and do this mod. One thing the article does not mention and I have heard mixed reviews about is you have to drill out the hole in the MC for the Corvette rod to fit. The rod is a slightly different diameter on the Corvette than it is on the Camaro. I ditched the J55's when they failed on me at TWS running CCW going into turn one (pucker factor ). Depending on what racing you are doing getting a set of good brakes will be great not to mention much safer (or could change the class be careful and read your class rules).

Our ZR-1 has AP Racing brakes and the Camaro master with a bias valve however I cannot comment on the install the builder of the car did this but works great on the street (I do not track this car). However I can get you pictures if you are interested.
