Can you lock up the front wheels with your current brakes?
Do you get fade (not boiling) on a 100-0 stop?
What pads are you currently running?

I don't know yet. Cars getting built back up. The old set up was the old sr servo and the brakes were dire. Ill see how it goes with the gsi servo

Servo has pretty much zero bearing on how 'good' a brake system is.

Also when you say dire, what do you mean? Foot all the way to the floor before slowing, hard pedal and no stopping, moderate pedal and average stopping?
What were the pads etc fitted?

There is a lot more to brakes than simply slinging on the biggest calipers you can find.

Depending on wheel size & if you know a machinist, you could make a setup for considerably less.
