MUCH MORE PEDAL TRAVEL AFTER BLEEDING

[backeddy]

I use a Mit-T-vac or when I am lazy, a 1hp electric vacuum pump. Cost $75 and 1 glass pickle jar to make bleeding a breeze. Since you are tracking, make the investment and do it yourself. Only then will you KNOW it's right. I have had more problems with dealer work than I have ever caused doing things myself......

I'll have to second this! Good to do it yourself if your frequenting the track.

The Camaro is no different than any other car, you just have to do it right. It would surprise you how many techs i've hired over the years that didn't know how to do this properly.

I also bled mine without pressure bleeder after upgrading to ZL1 calipers and Stainless brake lines. Took a bit but mine are stout. It can be done...
