I just wanted to pass along a tidbit of info that came from a good =
friend of mine who is an auto engineer..
(with all the discussions regarding brakes),  "using a proportioning =
valve only assist in the initial stage of braking, as the line is still =
a continuous flow, it just takes an extra microsecond for the system to =
equalize and the proportioning valve is non functioning after that.  It =
only affect the initial stab of the brake pedal, preventing overbraking =
immediately to the wheels with less loading.  To provide a constant =
disproportionment of the brake system, a dual master cylinder set up =
with bore sizes corresponding to the needs of the system, will provide a =
better distribution to the rear brakes, (or front brakes, depending on =
how you look at it), and is a more appropriate system for high =
performance brake set ups."
