Chris, do you have any comments to add to that?
Which type do you use?
As far as I know both designs operate the same way. The valve adjustment changes the inflection point of the pressure graph, with a reduced ratio above that point.
The tilton has seven settings whereas the knob style is infinitely adjustable within its range.
I've used both, but I prefer the knob style.
My current setup is dual M/Cs.
Sorry, this seems like a hijack
, but the OP mentioned after-market prop-valves so it is sort of on topic.
From what I can tell from the online documentation is that the wilwood and the tilton behave differently.
For the Wilwood "
adjustable proportioning valve": it states: "The knob rotated all the way out (counter-clockwise) will provide a maximum pressure reduction of 57%. Rotating the knob in (clockwise) will incrementally increase line prressure, up to full pressure."
To me this sounds like a straight up regulator that can be set to have an output that is some fixed % of input pressure.
For the Tilton
Brake Proportioning Valve , they show this plot:
This shows a behavior which is very similar to the stock prop-valve that is in the car except it allows 7 discrete setpoints that move the "knee" on that plot.
I have not used either so I cannot comment on the behavior, but I am confused about which one I need, but I am tending towards the Tilton.
I would love to see pics of your dual MC setup and how much cutting you had to do to mount it (on the floor, or elevated).
