Matt's talking about adj brake setup like a Tilton type thing Henk. Or this one offered by Kokeln. http://www.kokeln.com/dual_master_cylinder_kit.php
Gives you the ability to tune your brakes in conjunction with a balance bar. I'm not sure how easy this is to set up though. I haven't done it. I think you need to be very clear on your dimensions when selecting all the components for this.

Matt, car looks very nice and clean. How did it run? Did I ask you where the oil tank is situated? Got any pics of it?

yes planing on tilton / Koklen.. just better pedal feel easier modulate in threshold ... my pedal is soft..

I will take pic of the dry sump. it is rt front of passenger foot well, doing again would have put behind passenger seat more line = more oil plus 14 qts oil to more of the rear of car.

I cracked the cross over pipe going into waste gate / turbo... had like 5 cracks then actually cam out of flange..????
coolest deal was a vendor at track " Viper " has dyno shop there the took of and welded like a work of art!!!!! they were a life saver!!!!! car back on tack next morning!

car need more HP... very well built Brand New factory block all race stuff done to it..

but i need a DME tune .. car running at like .8 bar boost..

but i did track down some well driven 996 gt3s!
