I still have the stock proportioning valve in the car.
I think the brakes favor the fronts a little too much. I smoke the fronts, never the rears. I'd like to put on some junk tires and see if I can get to the point where when I apply max brake pressure, the rears lock just after the fronts.

I don't advocate running a 'T'. I have vented 'A's on front and back and with no bias I can lock the rears too early. I run a Wilwood proprotioning valve and all is well. Throw the stock valve in the trash. It's a POS. It displaces a HUGE volume of fluid and contributes to mushy pedal feel. The Wilwood valve serves the same purpose but displaces very little fluid and gives much better pedal feel.
