Brake Advice

I'm building a dragster from my 86 camaro and I'd like to replace the front hubs and bearings (which have 250000 miles on them) with something that'll stop the car from high speeds.

I've already removed the master cylinder and replaced it with a Wilwood unit (without power assist). I'm running a Ford 9 in the rear with Wilwood discs, and I'd like to stick with the Wilwood brand (if only for consistency).

I see that Wilwood offers a kit (through Jegs). It says it works with OE spindles. Will this kit improve my braking performance over the stock setup? Am I throwing money away by sticking with Wilwood? Should I consider any other alternatives?
