Default Brake setups

This weekend I install my new Wilwood front brake kit. First off… very nice kit! I was very impressed with the quality for the price! I with the wheels had biger holes in them so that you could see the setup better!

While it was an decent improvement over the stock (Mustang II) set up, it's still not there. It still requires a decent amount of foot force the get the thing to stop. Keep in mind… the rear has a 8.8 setup with drums (which will be changed to a disc setup soon) and a base master cylinder with no booster (manual) probably out of either a Mustang II or Fox body.

I was wondering what you guys are running and if any of you have a power brake setup. I've heard several people comment that power brakes are not needed for these cars since they're so light. Is there a master cylinder setup (no booster) that is recommended?

Thanks!
Paul
