what do you have for master c?  or what port are you using?  how do you have lines run?    on my truck rear brakes rust so just fronts brakes it stop good, I got 7lbs vacuum with brake booster.

Stock 80s Chevy truck master. Running both ports into a T single line to frame then back to a T to calipers.

Pinion brake is where its at, mount one off the 14 bolt and you will stop on a dime

Then my other option would be install a hydro boost off a newer Chevy truck or astro van where it runs off your p.s. pump, or find an new master designed to run disc brakes off a single piston with no booster, I would assume summit or jegs would have them for drag cars

I have rear disc on my chevy and nothing on front and works great. But its strictly a mud truck.  Im running a single 1/4 inch line to the back and then teed into 3/16 at the pumpkin.  I also am using front port on master and plugged the rear port.  I dont have a booster and it works great.
