Thats what I want bigger rotors and better calipers ,yeah we all want that,I just don't feel like spending 3 grand for a brake upgrade.

I agree. 70LS1 also explains how after all that time and money and effort he is still not happy with the conversion. Maybe going with a dual master cylinder setup will help but in my opinion if your NOT going to the track then the stock setup will work just fine, actually better than any other car built the same year as your vette. But if you ARE going to the track then go with a Wilwood setup with big rotors or like vetteaddic said, upgrade to C5 rotors like 70LS1 did and make the brackets to fit some baer or better calipers.
