Gut the OEM brake proportioning valve?

Sorry, I did a search and nothing came up. I am cross-posting this from a racing forum, my apologies to those that frequent both. Just looking for the most info I can find.

I will be installing a Tilton brake proportioning adjustment valve on my race car soon and was just wondering what everyone did with the stock prop valve?

On my AS Mustang, we simply took the plug off the end and gutted the thing entirely. This turned it into nothing more than a distribution block, leaving the brake proportioning to the lever valve.

So, do I gut it entirely? Remove it and just run the lines straight from the master cylinder? We are allowed to revise the brake circuitry, so I am looking for the easiest, simplist solution.

Thanks.

replace it with a hardline or gut it. you don't want both as it will counter what you are doing until it maxes out and will basically defeat the prupose of the tilton.
