The Precision-Proformance adapted GM power brake booster from Byars uses a
stock stepped master cylinder with a larger diameter booster diaphragm. Such
master cylinders inherently "proportion" brake force themselves but make
calculations more tricky. And remember, that power booster doesn't bolt into a
Pantera- the mount is changed from 4-bolt to a three-bolt at the firewall.
With our completely changed system, I found a small increase in brake
balance came from balancing the fronts & rears with a manual proportioning valve
in the rear, but the car was driveable without one. Good luck- J DeRyke
