4thgen master. The front is plumbed to a T (actually my line lock) so it sees 100% pressure and the rears are plumbed through a wilwood adjustable prop valve.

Re: brake proportion valve & Road racing

Only replace the stock set up if you are experiencing rear lock prior to front.

The less you change the happier you will be.

I have two master cylinder with a balance bar and an inline rear prop valve.

Balance is no better than the stock set up when properly dialed in. When not dialed in it can be a terrible.

Re: brake proportion valve & Road racing

What are you going to run on the rear?

You would rather have the fronts lock before the rears.

I would still try it as is with the new brakes, before making any changes

Re: brake proportion valve & Road racing

Try switching to different brake pad compounds before noodling with a bias valve. I just put in some Hawk HP+ pads and found religion.
