     In fact, any information on relatively low dollar/high braking yield 

     projects, ideas, etc, would be highly appreciated.  For instance, is 

     there another type of vehicle out there that already has good brakes 

     or components that can be swaped whole or partially and used with 

     better stopping power on the Pantera???  What are some of the parts 

     interchangeability routes used by some of you others out there in high 

     speed fun, and hopefully stopping, land???  The idea is to avoid 

     spending an absolute fortune to improve the braking of the otherwise 

     stock Pantera.

     

     Dan.

Yeah, I have seen Bob at work too and he is FAST and SMOOTH!  Does he really 

use stock brake calipers?  If so, I would like to know what he has done to 

them to make them work so well.  If we can find out, there is no need to

go to the big-$$$ expense of the Wilwood etc routes.  Brakes are high 

on my "to do" list.

     

Thanks in advance,
