Wally,
I know you can't test everything that is out there, But I am curious about the electric F150 and the Corvette service brakes. I know we are aware that the parking brake is not designed to stop a moving vehicle, but the service brakes are. Even though the Corvette brakes are much larger than ours, I think we will have to wait until the heavy trucks start adding electric brakes.
Also, Summit Racing has electric hydraulic boosters that plumb into your existing system and further boosts the hydraulic pressure. They are sold with adjustable combination valves. If they fail you still have your original brakes.
Dave Lenzi was talking to me about the adjustable combination valves several weeks ago and was telling me about the benefits of controlling the pressure in the rear and mid axles to obtain maximum performance.
All neat stuff and all coming to a town near you, LOL.
Take care,
Tom K.
