haha cool, as long as you aren't expecting big differences in performance. The stock brakes can lock up all four tires, in which case no matter how big your rotors are, you aren't stopping any faster. The main performance increase is in fade...but i understand wanting to make it look cool

So.... ...I've found that the more you know about cars, the more you'll end up fixing. It's a blessing... ...and a curse.
You said it

I didn't replace the P-valve to the 4040 tegi p-valve, yet. I wanted to see if there was a noticable difference between the two.

Thus far, I don't feel much of a difference between the drums and disc brakes. And I attribute any differences to having all rebuilt calipers and new pads.

Here's a picture of me driving at Road America in Elkhart Lake. (4 mile track)


Notice in this picture, I still had my windshield visor. Well, eventhough it was made of vinyl, the red numbers wouldn't come off. So, the banner turned PINK!!! So, I had to take it off. I know that EJ1Buddy would be jumping for joy if he saw this, lol. I think I'm going to leave it off.

It's only a half of an inch from the bumper! Any closer and it'll hit.
