car pulls when power braking
Quick question I have a 84 vette n when I try power braking it'll spin the tires but the car just tries n takes off. Is my brakes weak or does that mean I need to bleed them I just got the car a couple months ago n haven't checked my pads would that be the problem thnx

I have an 84 as well. While I have never tried power braking, I think the results would be the same as yours if I did. It seems the 84 have crappy brake sysytems. How is your stopping ability otherwise??

I VERY MUCH enjoy mine as well....I know its not very fast as far as other cars go, but it still looks GREAT ! ! I have no issues with my CFI. I had originally taken it toe a shop for a tune-up, and it helped a lot, but it just wasnt right. I took it to a Corvette Only shop and they worked wonders. I guess CFI is pretty special as far as knowing how to work on it. ENJOY YOUR BABY ! !

I'm not sure, i don't have to power brake in order to spin the tires.
