Which brakes do you have in the back? Which engine? and do you have a pump?

I have a 351W Ford Racing motor. Stephen installed some new calipers from Wildwood and a pulley pump and a reseviour and a electric pump with a underdash toggle. That is what I recall him telling me, but I don't pay much attention to details. I can tell what time it is, but don't have a clue about how a clock works so you need to ask him. One thing I do know is that my "spirited driving" was the most brutal abusive repeated use of the brakes in my experience on a very tight twisty mountain road with grades in excess of 10% for about 25 miles and there was no problem. My original purpose for the posting was that there is a cure at least for normal use. I will never be on a track...sooooo...
