Well, my swap is done and everything is good, but I'm looking for some tips on how to adjust my proportioning valve. My car stops good now, but I want to max out my braking ability. Keep in mind, that I'm running my drag radials and skinnies all the time now, so I figure I want to do as much braking on the rear wheels as possible. Are there any tricks to feeling how my braking os disrtibuted? I know this sounds confusing, But I think there's a few of you that will understand what I'm trying to say. ANy help is appreciated.

Just adjust the knob ahalf turn at a time. Once the rear bias is so great that the rear is sliding or locking up. Then turn it one full turn the opposite direction . Thiss will build inyour safety factor. Then double check your braking. Watch out for wet or slippery roads as the bias is pretty much tuned for dry apps. But then it is all just an adjustment knob away.
