If you are going to give everything you do on this project the same type of overephasis, you will end up with a bug that costs $100k. Look at Bader Racing's Ghia, do you think they make a lot of sales or a lot of money with those? It's awesome, but pricey.

I realize i'm putting a lot of money into the car. It's going to cost at a bare minimum of $25,000. This car is actually my first car and I have an attachment to the car that most would think is crazy. I will never sell the car even if i'm in financial trouble. EVER.
I have based a lot of my life in making sure i can make the project go smoothly (aka emergency money in savings).
I expected criticism, but not from other people who are doing similar things to there Dubs. I will have proportioning valves on both the front and rear circuits, as well as the expirtise of Lanner. I have no doubt that with Lanners advise, the setup will be nothing short of well balanced and very streetable.
Thanks a lot for all the input, i'll include pictures of other similar overkill additions to my project in due time.
