Question 69 BIRD- INSTALL GUAGES FOR BRAKE SYSTEM???

Attached are pictures of existing JFZ pressure valves on the braking system that the car came with when i bought the car.

My question is whether or not it's worth the time and headache to install pressure gauges on the system to monitor the brakes.

This is no high dollar drag car, but I'm building it for bracket racing.

Longacres has some pressure gauges for front and rear. I have them on the Camaro troubleshooting brake stuff early on. Lets you know the line lock is still holding pressure or if a leaky line, piston seal or MC not holding pressure. An idea to start adjusting a prop valve. They have a bleeder on the gauge also.

Some bottom bulbers use brake pressure to keep things consistent at the starting line. Add what Skip said for troubleshooting
