Is this going to be a strictly drag car?

If not, it only looks like there's 1 brake line output, are you going to have a proportioning valve?

You're also losing a factor of safety because with only 1 output if any brake fails you lose the whole system.

I would also like to know how much harder it will be to use the brakes without the booster.

Nice piece! I've driven many cars without brake boosters and as long as the master cylinder is sized correctly for the system it should be a minimal increase in pedal pressure. Good luck with the project, I'm interested in seeing the results.

Too bad you didn't do a split master (front to rear). You would be able to adjust and dial in brake bias.

Good job. Sounds like your car will be a beast. That is a nice piece you have there. I am interested in how it will perform.
