Brake boost reduction
With a BBK and aggressive high Cf pads, brake pedal is much more sensitive than my foot, so modulation is not very precise. So I was thinking, are there any brake boosters from certain years which would reduce the boost? I'd like 20%-30% reduction, but I'm open to ideas. Otherwise it's a Tilton pedal box and manual brakes... open to suggestions with that also.

Have you tried different brake pad compounds or different master cylinder bores to see what works best for you? On my C4 Autocross car I am running the Hawk HP Plus pads with Baer Six Piston calipers on all four corners still using the factory ABS and the original brake booster. Also, I am using a Baer Master Cylinder with a 15/16" bore. Stock is a 7/8" bore.
