Greg, consensus is that there was no proportioning from the factory. At this point in time the best bet is to do the simple mod on the GM brass valve to have it basically same as factory but in brass. As reported here and in the article and on the instruction sheet .pdf it’s s simple mod.
Here is a simple analogy to the self energizing effect of drum brakes, and why proportioning is almost always needed with disc/drum (but not on TZE due to weight, length, heavy Onan, propane, water weight aft of rear ‘axle’ ) Imagine walking down a gravel road and holding a shovel handle at your side allowing the shovel to drag behind you at 45 deg. . It creates very little friction. Now do the same but have the shovel at 45 deg in front of you. Yes it digs in much like the forward shoe is pulled against the rotating drum on drum brakes. This is actually a free benefit that discs do not have.
