Brad,

Sorry I did not catch the important "dual" master cylinder request.

 I think you would be interested in Larry Paulick's article on that 
subject, as well as others.  The MAJOR issue is finding a correctly 
matched set of independent master cylinders.   If you want to compound 
the issue, then high performance calipers and disks, both front and 
rear, should be examined.  Along with that comes the additional fun of 
how to attach the emergency/parking mechanical brake lever.

Anyway, it can be done, and with, and without dual servos.

Check THOSE articles in the TigersUnited.com "Performance Tuning" 
section, and the Forum "Performance Tuning", Brake Mods" section, as a 
start. The main search engine will also find those buried as a part of 
an Article, or in our "Mailing List THREADS" of older list post, 
arranged by technical subject.  Very handy.

Steve
