Re: Brake issues
 

Although I understand that leaving the rear brake shoes loose enough to prevent any drag with the brake pedal not depressed is desirable, running them excessively loose will really accomplish little, other than requiring more pedal travel to make the brakes operate. All you are really doing is making the wheel cylinder pistons move further to cause the brake shoes to contact the drums.

Adjust the brakes the brakes the brakes the way the way they should be (tighten up the backs) And yes I have owned and raced a pure/factory stock car like your talking about. I ran low 12's at 113 with drum brakes all around. Just like the starting line technique with these cars. Doing a burnout with no line lock requires a little practice. What are Bob K and the other mopar pure/factory stock boys doing?

OK, now I understand the no LL deal.
The rear in your car was used on a lot of different bodies, including station wagons and some light trucks. Don't know how the rules view it but you might want to look at the possibility of using wider brake shoes if you can. Might require changing backing plates, you just have to look at what size shoes are available. I know on 9" Fords there is a lot of different rear brake configurations.

Rory / Tony...I will try tightening up the rears along with running the large shoes as well. I haven't spoke to Bob and a few others about this, but will do so.

Eman...When I talk to Porterfield and Carbontech I will ask what size options are available.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.
