Driver question: 3 wheel vs 4 wheel brake

[Chris Steele]

My opinion on the RF proportioning valve...if it slows the fluid down going to the caliper, it will be slow coming back out of the caliper. After the pedal is released it will cause the RF to hold pressure for a little after, but thats just my way of thinking, never had a car with one that actually worked.

Just food for thought...I believe Ray Cook said he starts the night on 3 wheel and four turns off of full rear. Throughout the night he puts more front in until he's at 50/50. He then turns the RF on and goes back to four turns off of full rear. I believe he was also referring to a SLM. I'm sure Crates are a different story.

I like the ideal of reduced braking on the r/f but on more than one occasion I've had the shut off bleed by and start binding the r/f.On the car now I have a small piston caliper on the r/f, then a prop. valve, then a shut off.
