^^ Haha! Thanks! And I wish! My paychecks would be a lot bigger if that were the case LOL



I just spend WAY too much time thinking about cars. Sometimes that's good, sometimes bad :confused3:

I have the same problem... Obviously :lol:

[Zanzer]

^^ LOL

It's not so bad until it's 3am and you're laying in bed wide awake thinking about cam grinds and port CFMs :toothy3:

I GUARANTEE the KLZE caused many a sleepless night :thumbup:

If you decrease your leverage point, you want a SMALLER bore to make up for it, to bring the mechanical advantage back to stock. A larger bore will just make it even harder to push.

[Damkid]

Now that you mention that, ya you'd be right........ well i guess what i can do is wait until i have the booster mounted where i want it and test it out, then decide if a different master is even necessary

Just another thought, maybe a bigger booster could also help compensate for the dereased leverage?

[Zanzer]

Sounds good to me! I couldn't remember which way it went as far as bore size vs stroke...that's why I just got lazy and said a different bore size LOL. I used to be able to quote that stuff from memory when I was into building big Broncos but it's been a while At ~6000lbs they need all the help they can get.


The Aspire booster looks a good bit larger than the Festy. I started to pull one out to try on my last trip to PAP but after pulling all the suspension and a set of seats I had pretty much had enough of the heat.

A larger bore will require more effort but less stroke/travel. Maybe a slightly larger bore with the bigger booster would be a "happy medium" for you. I'd try the bigger booster first and see if it's adequate. If not, move up from there.

yes, but he'lll be increasing the leverage poing by moving the assembly virticaly (rod moved closer to pivot point) so a larger bore (like the EGT master) would be in order to maintain pedal effort. if rod is moved closer to pivot point, stroke is lost so bore size MUST increase to maintain volume movement.

Oh ya your right too Arty, dam I was thinking backwards there :lol:

[Zanzer]

I just had another idea that may help you out.... a "Z" bar

[crazyrog17]

I've thought this from the start and although you've mentioned header tape, what about a heat shield?

[FestYboy]

heat shields can only go so far...

Chris, I wasn't critisizing your build. I just don't want you to get hurt due to a miscalculation. I like the idea of moving the booster up, vs to the side. Good thinking!

[91mcnasty]

^ they heat up too

[Damkid]

I plan on using a heat shield + heat wrap on the pipes and master cylinder

No worries Jim, logging in and seeing upwards of 10 posts basically saying how bad my idea was just got me the wrong way that day, so it wasn't just specifically one post
