Proportioning Valve Question.........

I have a 1984 Pontiac Trans AM, I am looking to increase braking power, if i buy a Wilwood Proportioning Valve, can i remove the stock Proportioning valve and replace it with the Wilwood, or do i need to keep the stock one and use that in conjunction with the Wilwood ?

I don't think an adjustable prop valve is going to do anything to increase your braking power, it'll just let you vary the bias between the front and rear brakes.
