I have an abs delete block and a proportioning valve, if I can’t get the abs working I’m going to delete it.Are the pad materials possibly causing the temp differentials? What does Pagid say?

There's gotta be a cause and fix for the ABS, and when working properly it's a benefit.I have an abs delete block and a proportioning valve, if I can’t get the abs working I’m going to delete it.
Ye gads,.... the ABS is fantastic... lets you brake deeper into the curve and saves a HUGE amount of money on tires. All the cars i have seen that have removed their ABS for some odd reason or other, have instantly become uncompetitive. the modern brake pads are far to grippy to use without ABS.I’m going to caveat this question with, I have no clue regarding all the late technology, but why would you want ABS on a race car? I would eliminate that immediately and only use the prop valve, but I drive a 56 year old car with absolutely no technology and way slower than you guys.
Yup....its not a lack of airflow.You have your fabbed 4" ducts right?
What was the initial reading or is this it?Okay, .020” in 2 1/2” of travel, that’s less than .010/inch. Perfect. I could get it closer to zero but I like some toe out on bump because the suspension compresses as it’s loaded and I don’t want it to go into toe in so we’ll stop here. I would have filmed this but I don’t have enough hands.

Really close, but the wrong way. Adding just .090 of shim brought it from toe in to the perfect amount of toe out. That’s right, it doesn’t take much to go from shiznit to shinola. This is why I scoff at those who throw a bump kit on their car and proclaim: “I bump steered my car.” No you didn’t, you just f****d up the bumpsteer on your car and have no idea because you didn’t bother to check it properly.
And with that, I step down from my soap box.
I wondered about that….however I was confused when it seemed to go from too much rear to too much front….I assumed it was the valves in the ABS pump being uncontrolled and going whichever way it wanted…but not really understanding how the ABS in these cars work I am only guessing. What I do know is this sucks. Pretty damn sure about that. What’s a good source for a boss 302 master cylinder? I want to make sure I get the right thing, not just a “fits 2005 to 2014” one size fits all source. Also, are there any fitment issues? All the tube connections the same size?On the brake balance problem, I think you've got a master cylinder problem. The hydraulic balance is off - too much front, not enough rear. Later S197's had that fixed. You might need a late-model GT500 or Boss302 master cylinder to get the balance right.
2005/mid2008 master cylinders have a different mounting bolt pattern than the mid 2008 to 2014 master cylinders as does the brake boosters. The brake boosters are different for the supercharged model Mustangs than the normally aspirated ones.
