There are a lot of variables to contend with at the track running at 8 to 10 tenths. This is where, in my opinion, a balance valve proves it's value. I don't track my car and find my settings (60/40 prox) to work fine for me.
It looks like you are making a lot of progress with your build.

Leo, How do you know, or how do you measure the 60/40 ratio on the Butler balance bar?
Seems to me that it would require a lot of stop start driving. Then either jacking up the car or removing the pedal box cover, loosening the lock-nuts on the Bias-Bar, making the adjustments locking up the lock nuts, then driving and testing brakes then adjust again.
I would like to adapt/use Tilton remote adjustable cable
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro...asp?RecID=1090 or similar Wilwood or CNC on the 1/2" 20tpi threaded rod that is in the Butler pedal box. But this will take a few modifications with the way Ron engineered it.
It may require removing the 1/2" hemi-joint that is attached to the bottom of Ron's pedal and replace it by welding a sleeve to the pedal that will then accept the Tilton

Then a 90 degree

Hoping to hear from more Butler drivers on the subject.
Thanks,
Arthur
