What was the recommended line pressure for front & Rear that Wilwood suggested?

Regarding Vector 1, with the higher pressure in the rear, I have seen this mostly in dirt track racing. This will give the drifting effect that is needed in this type of racing. However, his bias "7/8" thread showing on the left side of adjustable brake bias with the front brake master on the left" is actually removing the line pressure and engagement for the higher pressures in the rear. Additionally, sometimes times higher brake pressures are needed for rear engine cars, such as the GT 40 since majority of the weight is in the rear.

I was mostly concerned about the brake pad compound, and now curious as to how the type "A" pads work. They seems to be pretty well according the Vector1 and the charts from Wilwood.
