Ok so im in the process of basically rebuilding my entire corvette. I need some help with the braking system tho. heres my questions
1.Can i use this package from summit? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
2.Whats the differance in single and dual diaphram boosters?
3.What size booster do i need?
4.Can i use a "universal" master cylinder like the one in the kit?

fire? damn.
I donno if that will fit... it might if you modify the firewall to accept it, but from stock, I doubt it.
You need to consider a few things for underhood fitment, and that is diameter. If it's too high, it could hit the hood.
I would go with OEM fitment - SSBC and Vette Brake Products should make those parts.

I don't know SSBC's, but in either case, a hit on Google will find them. I think Vette brakes has a link on the left margin - ie, forum vendor.
As for OEM, you might want to talk to Jason at www.vette2vette.com. You may have to leave a voice message (busy with newborn), but he WILL call back!
