Question master power brakes

Hey guys im gonna pick up a set of master power front discs with power assist tommorow. I know the kit has 11" rotors and single piston calipers, so what im wondering is if its worth the price. Am I going to see signifigant stopping gains over my manual drums?? Is the MP kit easy to install? HAs anyone had trouble with this company?

I purchased from MP Brakes their dual diaphram power master cylinder, with their four disc proportioning value. It installed pretty quickly. Everything lined up fine. Stopping power - sorry I never ran my Camaro on drums. FYI - make sure to hook the master cylinder to the brake pedal assembly correctly i.e. rod length and angle - just make sure to read the instructions. The front disc I have were already installed on the Martz Chasis that I have, and I installed SSB disc brakes in the rear.

I use the MP front disk kit with the larger two chamber m/c and am very happy with it. I had power drums before and there is a definite improvement with the new setup. I slow the car down regularly from 140mph runs and havnt had any problems yet.
