In one build I read about where they wanted a pedal box they ended up deciding that there wasn't enough room.

Give the guys at FFTEC a call and ask about it. I think they're building a time attack 9 with Tilton pedals right now.

First of all, don't follow this advice.

Second, what do you mean by the pedal gets hard? Generally speaking a firm pedal is a good thing as long as the car still slows quickly. If the pedal is firm and you don't slow down, this sounds like a physical problem such as a stuck caliper piston. I'd suggest explaining your problem better and finding a new mechanic.

What I mean is, my brakes works fine, but after a few minutes of hard drives from firm pedal become a hard like when the car is shut off and you press the brake pedal, my mechanics has been check everything and he told me than something the brake booster gets out of vacuum more when you have a cams, is for that they removed for the race cars setup and they install tilton pedal box
