Opinion on leaving the ABS out of a summer LT1 car?
 
Curious what everyone thinks. The car im building up was originally a v6, im dropping in a lt1. Its going to be a summer car and only driven on nice days. Should/can i just leave the ABS out and get the codes deleted?

My ABS has never worked and I don't care.

I don't like any features that take control of the car away from you.

I disabled my ABS system when I upgraded to a 9" Moser rear axle. Haven't had any issues with aggressive braking without the ABS.

Lots of people remove the ABS, I had to to make room for intercooler piping. I was a little concerned about the braking ability without ABS so I took it out on some back roads and worked the brakes pretty hard, and I've also tried them on wet roads and they seem to work really well. There are pictures in my cardomain site of the proportioning valve I plumbed into the system to equalize the rear brakes. I really dont think the valve is necessary, to get the right brake bias I have the valve all the way open which should be the same as no even having it there.
